Ban Veunxe is an abandoned populated place located in the Khammouan province of the Lao People's Democratic Republic. The village was once a thriving community with a population of several hundred inhabitants, but it has been abandoned for many years due to unknown reasons. Despite its abandonment, the village still stands with its houses, temples, and other buildings remaining intact.

The village is situated in a remote area surrounded by dense forests and rugged terrain, with no access to modern infrastructure or facilities. The villagers were primarily engaged in farming and agriculture, and the village was known for its fertile soil and abundant crop production.

Today, the village is a ghost town with no signs of life. The abandoned houses and buildings are slowly being reclaimed by nature, with vines and trees growing over them. The temples and other religious structures still stand, but they are in a state of disrepair and have been vandalized over the years.

Although there is no official record of why Ban Veunxe was abandoned, some locals claim that it was due to a combination of factors, including a lack of access to healthcare and education, natural disasters, and conflicts with neighboring communities. The site remains a popular destination for adventurous tourists interested in exploring abandoned places and experiencing the eerie atmosphere of a ghost town.
