  Rich in cultural significance, it's another of the 'must see' temples. Originally housing the Emerald Buddha [which is now located in Thailand], a replica is in it's place, surrounded by various historical ornaments. For a donation you're welcome to flowers to provide as an offering to Buddha.

  The temple was named as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha but, nowadays, the sacred buddha image is located in Thailand. The temple structure were built with wood. Decorated with unique handicraft objects, there are many priceless stuff kept inside.

  The place that has a very beautiful original Laos achitecture building stand alone and fulfill with a lot of antique Bhudda. If you would like to get inside, it has to pay 10,000kip entrance fee. No photos inside.

  A nice ex wat. The gardens are serene and make a a refreshing respite from the heat. Different room other wat complexes as this focused on one main structure rather than many.

  Nicely restored, beautiful Temple with intricate artifacts inside. You not allowed to photograph inside but the trip and entrance fee is worth it anyway.

  This is a great example of a restored temple. Really photogenic on the outside and a display of Buddhas inside. The problem is the lack of labels that make it difficult to know and appreciate what you are looking at. Entry is 5,000 kip for foreigners. Photography is not allowed inside.

  This was a fun little find for us. Be sure to find the carved tree stumps that are under a tent near the back of the complex. Complex is currently under some restoration however.

  Better than Wat Si Saket (across the road) although this is a rebuilt temple. Nice garden settings.
