Most beautiful Wat I visited in Luang Prabang. I visited near sunset and was treated to gorgeous light reflecting off the well maintained golden details of the wat. A little off the tourist path, so you will have the chance to explore it without company.

It’s a little out of the way for those staying downtown but is definitely worth a visit. I particularly enjoyed the bright and colorful wall paintings, one of the unique things about this temple. There were no admission fees during my visit.

Vat Manorom Ce vat daterait au 14ème siècle, mais il fut reconstruit en béton au début du 20ème siècle. Il renferme un impressionnant Bouddha assis en bronze datant de 1372. La statue haute de 6 m pèse près de 3 tonnes ce qui en fait la statue la plus lourde du Laos.

A cat family lives here, the monks seemed like them very much. There is no entrance fee, at least at night.
