At Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham, admire an ornately decorated early 19th-century temple, supposedly deemed too beautiful to destroy by the invading Chinese. The lavishly adorned structure is steeped in gold, with black pillars stenciled in an aureate pattern, and a large golden relief on the facade imparting the story of the Buddha's highest incarnation as Vessentar. Exploring the red ochre interior, you'll find an abundant collection of Buddha statues, including a large golden portrayal surrounded by many smaller versions. Bear in mind shoes must be removed while inside the temple, though photography is permitted, so don't be shy with your camera. A visit to Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham represents just the start of the adventure when you use our Luang Prabang vacation trip planner to plot your vacation.

August 7, 2017ナイトマーケットがのびるシーサワンウオン通りに面していて、国立博物館の隣という好立地にあるので、多くの人が目の前を通るが、その名前までは意識されない寺。といってはかわいそうだろうか。ナイトマーケットの人込みを離れてちょっと息抜きをするのにもちょうどいい場所にある。赤い五重の屋根が特徴といえるお堂があり、その脇には黄金色の仏様の立像、座像もある。１８２１年に建てられ、比較的新しい寺だそうだ。 more »
Until its name do not recognize the present sisavanuon Street night market, located next to the National Museum, so many people pass in front of the temple. It is a pity, isn't it? It is located in the nice place to just to break off the crowded night markets. Hall said that feature Red 5 heavy roof and beside the Golden Buddha like the statue of a seated figure. Built in 1821, the relatively new temple said.View original -

June 26, 2017É um templo bonito, mas não se compara aos dos outros países da região. Pela proximidade com as demais atrações da cidade, vale a visita, mas não tenha grandes expectativas. more »
Is a beautiful temple, but does not compare to those of other countries in the region. The proximity to other attractions in the city, worth a visit, but don't get your hopes up.View original -

October 7, 2016Great place to meet and interact with monks. The entrance of 10k Kip is in my opinion justified. I've got a private tour by a monk 👍🏼
