Luang Prabang City & Temples
Half Day Excursion
Itinerary
• Visit Vat Visoun, the site of an impressive stupa,
That Makmo, stylistically more Srilankalese than Lao. Then
walk to the nearby Vat Aham, which is one of the city’s
major tutelary shrines, dedicated to Deveta Luang (spirit)
Pu Gneu Ya Gneu (ancestors).
• Climb Vat Phousi hill for an outstanding view over
the city.
• Continue to visit Vat Sene and Vat Xieng Thong, considered
as the most beautiful temple. The sim of the Vat represents
the classic Luang Prabang temple architecture with roofs that
sweep low to the ground. In the compound stand several small
chapels housing bronze Buddha images, which were displayed
in Paris in 1911. Near the East gate stands the Royal Funeral
Chapel. Inside are an impressive 12-meter high funeral chariot
and various funeral urns of each Royal Family’s member.
The gilt panel on the exterior of the chapel depicts a semi-erotic
episode from Ramayana.
• Next, drive to visit Ban Phanom, a weaving village
populated by Thai Lu.
