Wat Phra That Phoun is on Avenue Lane Xang near Patuxay
Monument. It has a
beautiful arch entrance of Naga, and sitting on top is a Buddha
with its 7 pronged head spreading over the Buddha’s head as a

snake like animal of Hindu lore, and according to legend, the
Naga once tried to harm the Buddha but was subdued and became
one of Buddha’s disciples and guardians. |
