Wat Sisaket

Not crowded. it's worth visiting it. Only one hour is enough. 30000 you have to pay. Toilet facilities are very good. Pay attention to your trousers. Not be short. Ladies go according to culture.

Wat Sisaket in Vientiane is a fantastic place to visit. The temple is beautiful and full of history, with thousands of Buddha statues. The architecture is stunning and the atmosphere is peaceful. It's a great spot to learn about Lao culture and enjoy some quiet time. Highly recommended!

Vientiane is a charming city, but Wat Sisaket was the real highlight for me. It wasn't the most grand or imposing temple I visited, but it had a certain peacefulness that drew me in. Maybe it was the quiet courtyard, or the locals murmuring prayers as they spun the prayer wheels. It felt like a place of genuine devotion, not just a tourist stop.

The collection of Buddha statues lining the cloister walls was incredible. Thousands of them, in all shapes, sizes, and materials. It wasn't just the sheer number that impressed me, but the variety. Each one seemed to tell a story, a testament to the different styles and interpretations of Buddhism over the centuries.

I spent ages just wandering around, soaking it all in. There were these little alcoves with colorful murals depicting stories from the Buddha's life. I even spotted a couple leaving offerings of flowers and rice at a small shrine – a simple act that spoke volumes about the faith that permeates this place.

Wat Sisaket left a lasting impression on me. It wasn't just about the architecture or the artifacts, but the sense of tranquility and the glimpse it offered into Lao culture. If you're ever in Vientiane, don't miss it.

Great peaceful and serene place in the city. I went on a cloudy, not so hot day and it was perfect. Old buildings and many statues. No one was there to sell tickets even though it said 30k for foreigners.

A beautiful temple surrounded by old ancient buddhas statues on the floor. A pity that no one appreciates.

Probably one of the best Wats we saw in Laos. The history of this place is great, and the old temple with the drawings inside are so well preserved. All sorts of Buddha statues around the outside. Highly recommend!

For me this was the most beautiful place. There are over 10000's of Buddha statue here and in the main temple wonderful painting. It's pity that they don't let the people take picture inside the temple. Ticket 30k for foreigner

A must in Vientiane. Murals in main hall wins my heart although no photo allowed inside. You may borrow the mural book to read and to understand the mural is about the process Pokra life legend.

Beautiful temple with many (apparently 2000) Buddhas. There is a temple with interesting wall paintings.

This was the most unique and interesting temple in Vientiane. An outside perimeter building is lined with clay buddhas sitting in small recesses of the walls. The centre building is much older with ornate walls and ceiling (no photos). The roof is either full of bats or swallows - you can see them but their calls add another dimension to the experience

Very beautiful iconic temple of Vientiane. A must see. Lots of Buddha statues. Entrance fee is 10,000 kip for foreigners. There are drinks and food available inside. Some of the buildings are under restoration, and it’s going to look great once it’s complete. Lots of history here.

very nice Buddhist temple. The temple is located in the heart of Vientiane capital city. An ancient Buddhist temple has been well maintained. A must-see place when you visit Vientiane. Love it.

Worth the visit if you are looking for something to do in Vientiane. Just be weary of respecting the monks. Tickets can be purchased there for 50,000 kip.

‘Wat Sisaket’ is the buddhist temple, situated on Lan Tang Road, formerly held the Emerald Buddha, and maybe the oldest temple still standing in Vientiane.

Fascinating Buddhist temple, Wat Si Saket is the only temple in Laos that survived the occupation by the Siamese who destroyed much of the capital in 1828. It features more than 10,000 Buddha sculptures of different sizes and styles. The temple has also amazing architecture and layout, with a history that dates back to 1818. A must see if you are exploring Vientiane.

Very interesting temple .
The staff definitely could do a better job of keeping the place clean

I like all kinds of religion buildings. Wat Sisaket is very beautiful, unique and ancient.

There is one of gorgeous temples in Vientiane. It indicates a Lao traditional temple and lifespan is more than 200 years!
Feeling good.

Buddhist temple. Not busy during the week. No photos inside the pagoda and no shoes either. Entrance is 30,000kip per person. They close at 5pm.
