Beautiful temple in the town. Located near city center and a few minutes walk from night market. Early morning or late evening is the best time to take a photo

This was my favorite temple in Luang Prabang. A great photo op in the early morning, when the temple is not very crowded.

When we went it was just us, so it was great to look around peacefully. The temple itself is impressive. Some of the monks were in class.

Sensoukaram pronounces as San-Sook-Kha-Rum, which means So full of happiness and wonderful, just a name itself already is pleasant to pay a quick respect since you are in town.
