In November 2002, my partner and I spent 6 days in lovely Luang Prabang, Laos. Aside from the laid back atmosphere, the excellent weather and the great food, we most enjoyed visiting a number of the Wats in and around Luang Prabang. I am creating slide shows of each Wat. The first, shown in this post after you click “continue reading” below, is Wat Xieng Thong, where I took the most pictures.
I recommend the book Ancient Luang Prabang for further reference and study. I’m very grateful this book exists because I have not been the best note-taker during my travels!
Photos include the main congregational hall or the “sim,” the very colorful Chapelle Rouge, architectural ornamentation details, doors and pictures of the grounds.
