Description: |
|
Wat Saphai Kang is a temple of an unknown age that was last
reconstructed in 1938 and has a venerated, stupa-like stone (Pha
That) from the Wat Phou era that marks the temple as the most
sacred in the area and the first temple to open all religious
festivals. A milestone from the French era used by boats for
noting distance of travel can be seen here as well (near the Pha
That). Across the street from Wat Saphai Kang is a traditional,
southern Lao house in twin-roof style, which was originally
built approximately 150 years ago by Pau Tao Jume, a coffee
plantation owner. Today the house is inhabited by his great
granddaughter, Nang Moui and her family, who practice
traditional weaving. |
