Ce temple se situe entre le mekong et la rue principale. L'accès est libre et gratuit mais le temple principale est ouvert seulement le matin pendant la cérémonie de l'aumône et le soir à partir de 17... more »

This temple is located between the Mekong River and the main street. Access is free but the main temple is open only in the morning for the ceremony of alms and the evening from 5.30 pm for prayer. But it's worth it because it's really intimate only a few local followers and it is the only temple with a statue of a monk in wax (I think).

朝、Alms Giving Ceremonyを見てから、Wat Nong Sikhounmuangに訪れました。若い僧侶がたくさんいました。私がWat Nong Sikhounmuangに訪れたときは、僧侶たちが朝食を食べている時間でした。ちなみに、Wat Nong Sikhounmuangは、観光客が少なく、とても静かでした。そして、とても素朴な寺院に感じました。 Luang Prabang... more »

From looking at the morning Alms Giving Ceremony, visited the Wat Nong Sikhounmuang. There were many young monks. It was a time when I visited the Wat Nong Sikhonmang monks are eating breakfast. By the way, Wat Nong Sikhounmuang, fewer tourists and was very quiet. And I felt very rustic temple. If you want to explore the common temples in Luang Prabang we recommend.

วัดหนองสีคูนเมือง หรือเรียกกันว่าวัดหนอง สร้างเมืองเกือบ 300 ปีก่อน เมื่อก่อนเคยสวยงามและยิ่งใหญ่ก่อนถูกไฟไหม้ และได้มีการบูรณะขึ้นมาใหม่ เร็วๆนี้ได้สิมแบบเวียงจันทร์รวมทั้งกระจกลายสีต่าง ทำให้สวยงามแบบสมัยใหม่ เสียดายไม่เปิดให้เข้าชมพระประธานด้านใน โดยรอบเงียบสงบไม่ไม่นักท่องเที่ยวมาเยี่ยมชมมากนักถึงแม้จะในภายในดาวเทาน์หลวงพระบาง

原本寺廟被摧毀了，這是後來鋼筋水泥重建的建築。參觀不用收費，禮拜六造訪，完全沒有遊客及參拜人潮。
