Description: |
|
Wat Sene Souk Haram or literally "Temple of a 100 000 treasures"
is one of the most beautiful temples in Luang Prabang, singular
by its restored painting of a deep ochre colour, flamboyant and
glittering with gold. Constructed in 1718 by king Kitsarath with
100 000 stones from the Mekong river, the temple is made up of a
vihan, a that, several koutis, a pirogue shelter (where you can
see a racing pirogue of extreme beauty), and a drum shelter (see
photo).
The Wat Sene is the first monastery in town whose
vihan was covered with yellow and red tiles in the modern Thai
fashion. |
