Wat Si Saket

Wat Si Saket is a Buddhist temple located in Vientiane, Laos. The temple is famous for its cloister wall housing thousands of tiny Buddha images and rows with hundreds of seated Buddhas. These images mainly date from the 16th and 19th centuries and come in all sizes and are made from wood, stone, and bronze. The temple also features a charming daily ceremony where locals go to pray and make merit as well as to offer food to the monks. The temple's architecture and layout are beautiful, with a surrounding veranda, an ornate five-tiered roof, a drum tower, and a small library building with a Burmese-style roof. The temple is also home to many figurines and sculptures fashioned by highly skilled craftsmen, including a five-meter long beautiful detailed wooden naga. Visitors can explore the temple's many interesting features, including its lovely surrounding verandas, the flowered ceiling of the ordination hall, and the hundreds of Buddha statues in the style of Lao sculptures
