Wat Luang Pakse or Wat Pho Ratanasadaram
is a temple in Pakse, Champasak Province, Laos. It is located on the banks of the Sedone River to the north of the old market. It was built in 1935 and is one of the oldest temples in Pakse. It has a history related to the French-era war and beautiful architecture.
Offering sticky rice to monks is a Buddhist tradition of Lao people that has been practiced alongside Lao people for a long time. The activity starts at 5:30 every morning. The tour will prepare the alms (sticky rice + bread) for us and we can buy additional dry food ourselves. We offer alms on the side of the road. The atmosphere in the morning is not hot and not chaotic. It is quiet and peaceful.
After giving alms, we took a picture in front of the City Pillar Shrine of Nakhon Pakse, which is near Wat Luang.
Cost: Set of food for offering to monks (not included in the tour): 100 baht
