Vat Nong Sikhounmuang (signifie Pagode de l'étang) Il fut construit pour la première fois en 1729 dans le style de Xieng Khouang. Mais le Vat fut détruit par l'incendie de la ville en 1774. Reconstruit en 1804, il fut endommagé par le temps et les intempéries. Finalement le temple fut entièrement reconstruit en 1965 en béton armé dans le style Thaï. Ce temple abrite l’une des plus grandes pagodes de Luang Phabang. La pagode est richement décorée de pochoirs. D’un style inspiré de celui de Vientiane, le temple a l’une des plus jolies toitures aux couleurs flamboyantes de style thaï.
