Wat Si Muang, Vientiane

(140+ reviews on the web)
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. Make Wat Si Muang a part of your Vientiane vacation plans using our Vientiane vacation route planner.

  • The most beautiful and peaceful Wat I have visited in Vientiane by far. A little bit out of the way but definitely worth the trip.
  • This wat is very relaxing. Not very old or historic, but a peaceful place to relax out of the merciless sun.
