  This Wat has a fairly large compound and located right in town.
  Like many Wats here multiple-head dragon in silver can be seen at the main walkway and at the entrance.
  The building is lavishly decorated.

  The silver nagas outside enticed us to come in. Interesting mural paintings on the exterior of the temple which are a bit gruesome. Free entry unlike some other temples in Luang Prabang.

  Beautiful little water with large grounds. It's a two minute walk from anywhere in town, quiet and peaceful. The monks are working very hard on improvements to the walls and grounds. Worth a visit.
