Another temple typical of the design, layout and features of the region. The beautiful gold ornate exterior typical of the prayer halls. Large grounds for such a centrally situated temple.

Restoration by the monks in progress. Tranquil experience away from the crowds. Appreciate and enjoyed the ambience.

Nice and free temple. Good to start the temple tour of Luang Prabang, so that you’ll not be disappointed.
