Located just next to Wat Visounnarath, we walked over after visiting. No entrance fee for this temple. I liked this small temple best. Quiet and serene. With beautiful murals inside the walls depicting the life of Buddha. Of all the temples I visited in Luang Prabang, this is by far my favourite

Decent, nice temple, not as big as some of the others in town! Still had a nice visit here, and it weren't that many tourists

Wat Aham The first wat was built in 1527, but the present sim is a reconstruction dating from 1818. There are two large old banyan trees in the grounds which are revered as spirit shrines believed to house the devata luang, PuNo and Na No, the guardian spirits of the city.

Unassuming but beautiful small temple. Tells the story of the buddha through artwork lining every wall.

It’s easy to get temple fatigue in Luang Prabang as the city is dotted with beautiful but a bit repetitive Buddhist temples. This one can very well be one of those temples but it does boast a long and colorful history.

Wat Aham’s sim, or ordination hall, was built in 1818. The first shrine on this site was erected in the 14th century to honor the two guardian spirits of Luang Prabang.
