Vientiane: Wat Chanthabuli
In the centre of old Vientiane on Thanon Fa Ngum is the Buddhist temple of Wat Chanthabuli. Known by the locals as simply Wat Chan. Set on a corner sight and surrounded by whitewashed walls, the temple has a well kept garden, interesting architectural motifs and place of tranquilty against, not only the traffic, but the heat of the sun.....
Vientiane: Wat Sisangvone
Here I take a look around the temple of Wat Sisangvone - a temple filled with allegorical figures, ornate carvings & fine paintings. Tucked away, behind a large memorial wall, the temple compound is an island sight surrounded by private homes, located not far from Phra That Luang. The main Sim is currently being painted on the inside and a new bell tower is in progress of being built. I find this temple quite fascinating.
Wat Sud Tawad: Vientiane, Laos
Here I take a look around Wat Sud Tawad, located on the edge of the city on the main road to the Friendship Bridge.
The temple has very large walled grounds, with many tress. This time of the year the grounds are full of colour from the flowering trees and together with the gold painted Buddha images makes for an impressive site.

Vientiane: Wat Peerwat Chantaraham
Here I take a look around the Buddhist temple of Wat Peerwat Chantaraham. The temple is in the centre of the city, opposite the Don Chan Palace Hotel. The main Sim has recently been restored, cleaned and repainted. The Sim is unusual in that both the north & south entrances are covered with Buddhist murals.
The Budharatanamondob at Wat That Foun, Vientiane, Laos
Here I take a close look at the recently completed Budharatanamondob Shrine at Wat That Foon. The temple is located in the centre of the city, close to the Morning Market (Talat Sao). Construction of the Shrine was begun on the 7th November 2010 and was completed on the 4th May 2013, being funded, for the most part, by private donations.
The Shrine is beautiful with exquisite carvings, reliefs and intricate fretwork. The interior is covered with more carvings and every surface covered with brightly coloured painted borders.
Laos: Vientiane - Wat Aummone
Adjacent to the Russian Embassy in central Vientiane is the Buddhist Temple of Wat Aummone. The central Sim is quite graceful as the roof is supported on a series of thin pillars with the main hall located up a flight of stone stairs. The pillars give the effect of a veranda giving good views across the temple compound. The Meeting Pavilion for the lay people is also unusual in the fact that the coloured mural around the sides of the Hall are carved in relief.

WAT INPENG TEMPLE
Wat Inpeng is a famous Buddhist temple amongst the many temples in Vientiane, Laos. It’s located on Setthathirath Road between Chao Anou Road and Khun Boulom Road. The temple’s facade and ceiling are decorated by ornate gold designs and paintings depicting stories and tales of Buddha. A lion-like figure stands outside the entrance of the temple.
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....
Laos: Vientiane discovered
I find it hard to believe that Vientiane is a capital. The feeling here is more akin to a sleepy, laid back country town. Non-the-less, capital it is, the seat of government and powerhouse of the country. Vientiane means 'Sandalwood City' and is pronounced Viang Chan. Viang is Lao for 'city' or 'place with walls'; Chan means sandalwood. Not that there is much sign of city walls or sandalwood.....!
I immediately took to the place with its tree-lined boulevards, dozens of Buddhist temples, quaint back streets, wonderful food stalls, coffee houses and topping the list, magnificent views of the mighty Mekong....
