A beautiful collection of temples large and small. The architecture and decorations of these temples are stunning and is very peaceful if it’s quiet. Please remember to be respectful: dress modestly, don’t be too loud, take shoes and/or hats off when stated, and don’t bother the monks! Entrance fee is 30,000k and you can only enter via the south entrance.

This temple is incredible! It is among the most beautiful ones that I have seen in SE Asia. Full of gold and decorations in- and around the main temple and its neighbouring temple. Best to visit at end of the day, since it is quiet then. During the day, it can be busy with busses full of (mainly Chinese) tourists that visit this temple with a tour in big groups.

Wonderful temple with lots of story mozaik.
The energy of the temple areas are subtle,calming, and smooth.
Entry ticket is easily to get, at the entrance.
Morning and around 12ish were quiet when I visited.
Other than that big group of tourist with loud voices come and go ....

Lots of very intricate mosaics to see all over the side of the Wats. Inside there is a big golden Buddha statue. Not a massive site but a lot to see.
Entrance costs 30K per person and you can rent a skirt to cover your knees for 10K

Wat Xiengthong is one of the most important temple in Laos. It represents very beautiful typical Laos art and craft. What you definitely shouldn't miss is behind the main building of the temple: a large golden tree-shaped mirror decoration, which represents the legend of the founding of Luang Prabang. There’s some fee to enter the temple but it’s definitely worth it.

Very beautiful temple which is spiritual heart of Laos and richly decorated. The 16th-century Wat Xieng Thong is a notable example of the town's sophisticated reliious architecture.

Wat Xieng Thong located at the northern tip of the peninsula of Luang Prabang is a temple built by King Setthatirath around 1560. It occupies fairly large grounds and the main temple is lavishly furnished and beautiful. It served as a royal temple and a significant site for religious ceremonies, embodying the spiritual and artistic heritage of Laos.
