Religious Site · Tourist Spot

Find good fortune at Wat Si Muang, a wooden worship temple known for its good luck, attracting visitors to come and make a wish. If the wish is granted, people return to the temple to offer gifts and to give thanks for their fulfilled wish. Intricate details and carvings engulf both the inside and outside of the building, and the golden shade of the walls helps it stand out from the surroundings. Don't miss the golden Buddha statue that sits under a tree in the garden, in front of the temple. See Wat Si Muang and all Vientiane has to offer by arranging your trip with our Vientiane tour itinerary planner.

Describing this place as "busy" is right on the money. I was near here twice, and cars were always coming/going with families eager to go place gifts in the main temple building. The whole complex have several interesting buildings to look at from the outside; and being just enough away from central downtown probably means you'll be among more locals than tourists.

Noce ordinary temple. Clean and much more quiet than other touristic place in Vientiane. Not a must place
