More Luang Prabang

Wat Xieng Thong was built in the 1500's and occupied a huge area set in ancient Banyan trees just north of my hotel. Beautiful brass carvings adorn the walls of the funeral chariot hall, containing the funeral chariot of the last monarch. Unfortunately you have to remove your shoes to go inside and the steps were so hot that I couldn't step on them with my bare feet.

The main Buddha inside the Sim. Wat Sene...the wat just across from my hotel. The Sim.
