Wat Xieng Thong – Laos

#holidayitinerary

Wat Xieng Thong is Luang Prabang’s crown jewel — a temple with low, sweeping roofs that almost touch the ground, as if bowing in respect to the faithful. The gold stenciling and intricate mosaics show craftsmanship honed over generations. This isn’t just for show — it’s a spiritual hub that has hosted coronations and important Buddhist ceremonies. Walking here feels like being invited into the most dignified hall in the kingdom. #holidayitinerary
