Ban Pha Tang or Ban Phatang is a small town in Vientiane Province, Laos. It is located north along Route 13 from Vang Vieng, north of Ban Pakpo, on the bank of the Nam Song River.[1] From Ban Pha Tang, the road climbs steeply to Ban Phahom, Ban Thieng and Muang Kasi.[2] Lonely Planet describes it as a "pretty riverside village named after Pha Tang, a towering limestone cliff. The town's bridge offers a very photogenic view of its namesake."[3] Phatang Resort lies to the south of the settlement.
During the Vietnam War, the Pathet Lao regularly bombarded the town, and it was eventually abandoned for a period. The Battle of Ban Pha Vang took place here in April 1962.[4] In 1973, Ban Pha Tang was occupied with troops of Li Wen-huan's Third Army.[5] Seabee-BPP have reportedly involved with the construction of new BPP camps at Ban Pha Tang, Ban Paeng Chan and Ban Voen.[6]
