Hor Pha Keo restoration nearing completion

Renovation of the Hor Pha Keo Museum is now about 80 percent complete, according to the Vice Mayor of Vientiane Mr Saythong Keoduangdy.

Speaking at a press conference at the museum yesterday, Mr Saythong said the first phase of the restoration was almost 100 percent complete, which was why officials were now announcing the fact to the public.

The project to restore the museum began in early 2015, featuring improvements to the roof, ceiling, and the walls inside and surrounding the museum.

“We have completed those jobs and now our workers are focusing on the painting and texturing of the walls,” Mr Saithong said.

According to a report on the renovation, less than 20 percent of the work remains to be completed in the second and third phases of the project.

This will focus on the floor and other painting work around the museum. Workers will also restore the garden, drains, lighting, security and other features.

Officials also reported that funding for the renovation project came from the government, donations from local people, foreigners and international organisations as well as entry fees to the museum.

Project Secretary Mr Khampadith Kemmanith said they spent over 5 billion kip on the first phase, while the second phase will have a similar cost. The total budget for the entire restoration project is about 12 billion kip.

Officials from the Vientiane Administration Office and the Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism will arrange a ceremony to conclude the project as well as an almsgiving ceremony presided over by 41 monks at the museum on the weekend of February 21-22.

Mr Saithong asked local people to come to observe the progress of the restoration as well as attend the almsgiving ceremony.

“We would like them to see what we have done because they want to know and this weekend will be a good time to do it so we will arrange the ceremony for government officials and the public to see the museum together,” he sai d.

Ho Pha Keo is one of Vientiane's oldest temples, which was used as the royal chapel of the Lao monarchy, but more importantly it was built to house the Emerald Buddha.

The first renovation took place in 1816 during the reign of Chao Anouvong, while the second renovation was undertaken between the years 1936-1942.

After national liberation in 1975, the government placed Hor Pha Keo under the management of the Ministry of Education.

From 1983-1987, the museum was under the supervision of the then Ministry of Information and Culture. It became a full museum in 1987.

Luang Prabang - Royal Palace - Haw Pha Bang - Laos 2/18

Luang Prabang has both natural and historical sites.
Among the natural tourism sites are the Kuang Si Falls, Tat Sae Waterfalls, and Pak Ou Caves. Elephant riding is offered at some sites.
Phou Si, in the center of the town, has broad views of the town and river systems, and is a popular place to watch the sun setting over the Mekong River. At the end of the main street of Luang Prabang is a night market where stalls sell shirts, bracelets, and other souvenirs.
The Haw Kham Royal Palace Museum and the Wat Xieng Thong temple are among the best known historical sites. The town, particularly the main street, is dotted with many smaller wats such as Wat Hosian Voravihane. Every morning at sunrise, monks walk in a procession through the streets accepting alms offered by local residents, an event popular with tourists but subject to some controversy surrounding tourist etiquette.
Mountain biking is quite common, with people often biking around the town or to the waterfalls for the day. Down the Mekong River, a 15-minute boat ride from the city centre, Ban Chan (the pottery village) is an interesting place.
Luang Prabang received 'Best City' in the Wanderlust Travel Awards 2015.
