#asiatrip Wat Si Muang, The temple takes it name from Si Muang who, local legend has it, was a young Laotian woman who sacrificed herself to please the local gods and allow for the building to be erected some 400 years ago. This temple is one of the most popular temples in Vientiane and is a great place to visit if you want to see some of the finest Laotian Buddhist design work in the country. The design features of the temple are truly stunning and you will also be able to watch long streams of pilgrims here worshipping at the temple. Respectful, modest dress is required, be discrete and do not interfere with worshippers or ceremonies taking place. Address: Ban Simuang, Sethathirath Street, Sisatthanak district, Vientiane, Laos. #historicculture #laos
