Wat Sok Pa Luang Vientiane Laos
Wat Sok Pa Luang (Sok Pa Luang Temple or Monastery) was the site for the funeral and religious services of my friends and relatives (08/2013), in which some decades earlier was a large forest with many wild animals; and it remains a special place.

A Funeral Getogether In Vientiane Laos
I did not know I have so many friends and relatives in Vientiane until I attended this Lao traditional funeral held on 08/07/2013 in Wat Sok Pa Luang (Sok Pa Luang Temple). It's the funeral of a beloved monk who passed away in his twenties from a long illness.
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........

Unforgettable Family Funeral Vientiane Laos
While I had planned to stay in Thakhek longer (08/2013), I was rushed back to Vientiane (Wat Sok Pa Luang) to attend the funeral of relative and meet many friends and distant family members from my mother's side (the Chommanivongs), and of course, my beloved grandma's, whom I had not seen for almost forty years. Traditionally, most people would wear white for the funeral; and as for boys and men who ordained as monks, they had to shave heads and wear orange robes.
Laoe: Vientiane - Wat That Luang Neua
Here I take a close look at Wat That Luang Neua, the residence of the Supreme Patriarch (Pha Sangkhalat) of Lao Buddhism. I have concentrated on the new building of the temple, completed recently and now open to the public, most days, when ceremonial occasions dictate. I like this building as it encompasses many Lao motifs, has a number of finely painted wooden door and window panels and in the interior the murals are good too.

Wat Pon Keaw in Ban Don Goy, Vientiane, Laos
This charming Buddhist temple on the outskirts of Vientiane, until recently, looked over marshlands full of lotus lilies. Today, the marshland has all but gone, making way for rapid city expansion.
Step inside the temple grounds, though, and quickly the hectic world is left behind. Here all is is quiet and tranquil save for the sounds of the local children playing around an old tree and the air has a faint aroma of sweet incense…………..

Located on the outskirts of Vientiane is the lovely Buddhist temple of Wat Phonsamak. Until recently, the temple was reached by a dusty and pot holed track, now a concrete road is being constructed.
The fine golden statue of The Buddha close to the perimeter walls is also new. The compound is a welcome retreat from the bright sun and offers much shade under the numerous overhanging trees.

Laos National Dish LAAP (This one was my favorite) + VIENTIANE Cooked Food Market | LAOS
Day two from Vientiane.
I went on the search for a Khao jee sandwich and ended up at a place that seemed to be serving up more of a Banh mi style baguette sandwich. No matter what, the sandwich was absolutely phenomenal.
Next, I had what was probably one of my favorite meals in all of Laos. A super spicy, bitter, and funky laab pia. This thing rocked my world, in a good way. Perfectly combined with the soup.
Next day I started off with some pounded salads. Of course I had a very spicy and funky tum mak hoong and then since I cannot read the local language. I just closed my eyes and picked another type of pounded salad. The second couldn’t have been more perfect as it was sour and a tad bit sweet.
Then of course I went for some noodles. Long, white, chewy noodles in a flavor packed chicken broth. The broth was by far the winner as it was rich, garlicky, and had an intense chicken flavor.
Lastly, I went to a market! A much more local market than what I thought I was going to! It had a ton of local dishes prepared for take and go. Unfortunately, I had no where to go so I just had a nice little snack to finish the day off!
