Laos: Vientiane - Wat Si Muang
Towards the eastern end of the city of Vientiane is the revered temple of Wat Si Muang.
The Temple dates to AD 1566 & is one of the busiest in the city. Built on the ruins of a Khmer Hindu Shrine, the remains of which are still visible in an enclosed courtyard, set behind the main Ordination Hall.
The temple courtyard is full of Buddha Images, statues of various deities, serpents & animal sculptures.....
The Ordination Hall is rather unusual as it comprises two separate rooms. The first housing a small emerald Buddha & is the place to make merit to one of the monks in attendance. The room behind houses the Lak Muang, or City Pillar
LAOS, EXPLORING the ancient BUDDHIST TEMPLE ???? of Wat Si Muang in VIENTIANE
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit one of the most ancient Buddhist temples in Vientiane, the capital of LAOS in SE Asia.Wat Si Muang or Simuong was built in 1563 and it is located near the eastern entrance to the city centre, on the road leading from the Friendship Bridge to Thailand. It was built on the ruins of a Khmer Empire Hindu shrine.Inside, the temple is unusual in being divided into two rooms. The front room is usually quiet, with monks on hand to give blessings. The rear room houses the large main altar, with numerous statues and images of the Buddha. I visited on a very busy and crowded day, here is what I saw and recorded from this incredibly colorful culture..
Laos is a Southeast Asian country traversed by the Mekong River and known for mountainous terrain, French colonial architecture, hill tribe settlements and Buddhist monasteries. Vientiane, the capital, is the site of the That Luang monument, where a reliquary reportedly houses the Buddha’s breastbone, plus the Patuxai war memorial and Talat Sao (Morning Market), a complex jammed with food, clothes and craft stalls.

Wat Si Muang, Vientiane, Laos
Wat Si Muang is one of Vientiane’s most popular sites of worship
According to local legend, when the temple was being built in 1563 a young pregnant woman named Si Muang volunteered to sacrifice herself to appease the angry spirits. She threw herself into a hole in the ground where the building’s central pillar was to be placed, and was crushed when the massive pillar was lowered into position.
During the Thai invasion of Laos in 1828, the temple was destroyed. Rebuilt several times afterwards, the present building dates to 1915.
The interior of the temple is lavishly adorned in the usual manner with carved gold pillars, brightly coloured ceiling friezes and painted scenes from the life of the Buddha. Interestingly, the temple contains two rooms. The front chamber usually has a monk on hand to accept alms and give in return blessings. The second room contains an ornate altar where worshippers give their offerings to the Buddha.....
The temple is one of the most revered temples in Vientiane and is always busy....

Wat Phonkok, Vientiane, Laos
Here I take a look around the small and charming Buddhist temple of Wat Phonkok. The temple is located at the city limits and, for the present, is surrounded by farm land and only accessible by dirt road. The external carvings on the main Sim, set in relief, are interesting and well executed. The grounds are surrounded with ample gardens and grasslands. A quiet place away from the traffic and the hubbub of city life........
