มีค่าเข้าชมตัวโบสถ์ 20,000 kip เข้าพื้นที่วัดได้ฟรี แต่ประตูเข้าข้างในอุโบสถจะมีคนนั่งเฝ้าขายตั๋วทุกวัน ไม่เว้นวันหยุด กำแพงโบสถ์ข้างนอกสวยดี แต่ข้างในดูแล้วไม่ค่อยมีอะไร เฉยๆ นะ ไม่แน่ใจว่าเก็บเงินทำไม เพราะไม่ใช่แลนด์มาร์คอะไรเลย ถ้าไม่ซีเรียสอะไร ดูจากข้างนอกก็ได้ครับ

Very interesting and beautiful temple, with a beautiful interior design and multiple Buddha statues and a very special golden wall design.The ticket inside costs 20k for adults and the children are free. We came around 12:30 and the place was all to ourselves.There are no signs in English though and while there are some ancient structures outside, we were not able to figure out what they are :(This temple can be combined with the morning markets visit, the viewpoint or the palace museum. Also, there are multiple tuktuks waiting outside, so you dont need to worry about transportation.

お寺の詳細は他の口コミに譲る。夜になると外の路上でナイトマーケットが開かれ、特徴的なデザインの衣服や小物を売っている。多彩で目を奪われ、ついつい財布の紐を緩めることになるが悪いものではない。このマーケットをそばの丘から俯瞰的に見た時には実に幻想的。

A gorgeous temple worth seeing and a true testament to the Laotian architecture. The walls are covered in gold and Buddha images are abundant. Definitely worth seeing while in Luang Prabang.

Wat Mai SuwannaphumahamThis is one of the grandest and most impressive temples in Luang Prabang. Built in 1788 having taken 70 years to complete, it housed the golden Pra Bang Buddha palladium of Luang Prabang between 1894 and 1947. Wat Mai means “New Monastery” and it was here that the Pra Sangkharat, the highest Buddhist dignitary in Laos, resided from 1894. Restoration took place in 1821 during the reign of King Manthatourat (1817-36). During New Year celebrations the Pra Bang Buddha statue is brought from the Royal Palace (National Museumto Wat Mai for its annual three day ritual cleansing.

One of the most important temples in Luang Phrabang, where the ceremony of cleansing the Prabang Buddha is happening in every April. Not so old building, but still spectacular with its detailed carvings and golden surfaces. Entrace fee is 10k kip.

Nice temple at the foot of Mount Phousi and across the road from my guest house. There are two main buildings and this time the older hall was being used, which Id never seen on previous trips. Their lantern display was also pretty good.

One of the most interesting Wat in Luangprabang, famous to host the Phra Bang Buddha during Lao New Year and for it murals about Vessantara story (from the Jataka tales)

Typical Temple. But not sure why they are collecting 10,000KIP for entrance fee. I suppose most tourist dont make donation at the temple. Hopefully the money they collected stays at the temple and not go into other pockets.

The decorative work is visually interesting. This Wat is culturally important. The associated monastery was the home of the much revered Pha Sangkarat. There is a gilded depiction of the Phra Lak Phra Lam epic (the Laotian version of the Indian Ramayanain the front portico.

Nice temple, and within easy walk of most hotels. The morning market starts behind, while the night tourist market runs across the front, 10000 kip for an entry ticket, but lots of things to see and take photos of within a small compound. After the visit, you can head to the Royal Museum next door, or Mount Phousi across the road.Do also check out the small library across.

荘厳な寺院です。ルアンパバーンの中でも著名な寺院の一つだそうです。入館料は10000k。ルアンパバーン様式の目立つ、最も大きな建物には、大きな仏像が納められています。本堂のベンチに座りながら一休みするのもいいかも。時が経つのを忘れます。追伸旅を終えてみると、このお寺が一番厳かな感じがした。
