Description
If a visit to Wat Si Muang will offer a fascinating insight into how old animist beliefs have blended seamlessly with Theravada Buddhism, then at Wat Sisaket you admire an impressive architecture of Siamese style with a surrounding terrace and an ornate five-tiered roof, and layout with history dated back to 1818. Next, stop over Wat Prakeo - the only part of the old royal palace that has survived and now is a museum. Our last stop is That Luang Stupa – the symbol on the national emblem of Laos and the most sacred monument in the country.
