Wat May Souvannapoumaram

This temple was built in 1796 and is located near the busy Sisavangvong night market street and next to the Royal Palace compound. It is the largest and one of the most significant Buddhist temples in Luang Prabang, Laos. The name means "New Monastery of the Golden Land," reflecting its rich heritage and golden adornments.

Beuatiful temple but you have to pay 20000 kep for visit but I yhink it ok

Wat Mai Suwannaphumaham was built in 1796, Wat Mai means New Monastery and was given its present name following restoration undertaken in 1821 by King Manthathourath. The temple is the largest in Luang Prabang and is well worth a visit. A modest 20,000 kip entrance fee is applied (less than 1 US dollar). The five-tiered roof is a wonderful sight to behold, especially from the elevated Thanon Sisavangvong. The cement covered relief on the front facade is covered in black lacquer which was then gilded, is magnificent.

Beautiful temple and very ornate carvings with beautiful paintings and ceilings and walls. My experience was only marred by the lady who sold tickets for the entrance. It is stated clearly a ticket cost 20k Kip. I gave her 100k and clearly signed one with my finger. She just smiled ever so innocently and proceeded to take the money without giving me the change. I told her I only required one ticket and then ever so slowly started looking for change to be returned. This is the only reason I rated it 3 stars for not being honest

Very interesting and beautiful temple, with a beautiful interior design and multiple Buddha statues and a very special golden wall design. The ticket inside costs 20k for adults and the children are free. We came around 12:30 and the place was all to ourselves. There are no signs in English though and while there are some ancient structures outside, we were not able to figure out what they are :( This temple can be combined with the morning markets visit, the viewpoint or the palace museum. Also, there are multiple tuktuks waiting outside, so you don't need to worry about transportation.

Love to come sit opposite to this temple!! There entry fees so I didn’t go inside. Great to come during sunset too to see the colours of the sky change.

Second most beautiful temple in town

Cost 20k kip/pax for visiting
