Wat Louang
Author: DJ28.06.2007
After my visit to Champasak Palace Hotel, I went back to Wat Louang for the second time. The first time I was there with my parents was in the late afternoon. We were there for less than 10 minutes since it was busy with other tourists. My parents also were in a hurry to go to the evening market so I didn’t get a chance to take my time and walk around.
This time I was there for almost and hour and my uncle had to rush me to get back to the house so I wouldn’t miss the plane back to Vientiane. The lady at the temple was busy talking to me about current project.
The temple is building a new Sangha college. If any Laotian temples in the US want to help with this project, please leave your message so I can give you the cell phone number of the Senior Monk of Wat Louang.

Awesome pictures and what a beautiful wat. I like the intricate details on the sides. Beautiful work of art! This is in Champasak? I need to save up some money to go to Laos, so many beautiful things to see.

Sabaidee Chai,
This is in Pakse, Champasak Province. The wat is like 10 minutes drive at the most from Pakse airport.
You can’t miss it if you ask anyone where is Wat Louang. It is about 5 minutes from Champasak Palace Hotel I think.
