Location is so close to Mekong river, so cool with winds. Interesting architecture makes me enjoy my trip perfectly. Especially, we met a monk who is just 17 years old and friendly. He told us many stories of Buddha and his temple. So fantastic!!

Yet another Buddhist temple, nice to visit if you've not seen many temples. I liked the lived-in atmosphere, not too restored. I wasn't enthused by the many mangy barking dogs...

Another large sprawling Buddhist temple in the center of a city. Must have consumed more than 10-20% of the money from the city over the years. Not much to see unless you haven't seen a typical buddhist temple before. Lots of seriously mangy and probably dangerous street dogs, rubbish, and foul odors. Be careful of the thieves in monks robes. Many will approach you for donations, dinner, drinking, propositions of sex, money to study in Thailand, or whatever. Try asking them some serious questions and they will bugger off.

It's nice to see the old architecture and using your imagination, you can easily see what it looked like a long time ago.
The location is nice and even some shade in the summer heat is welcome. It's worth to go there when you're in Sawannkhet anyway, but not worth just to drive to Laos to see this temple.

We were most impressed with this Wat because of the High School on the Temple grounds. The young apprentice monks want to practice their English as you tour the grounds. The temples are in repair or building, so it is a bit rough in places. The temples and flowers are lovely tho.

Although we did see the rhino and camel as one reviewer noted, we didn't see all the Lao people. It was virtually deserted when we went! I would also agree with another reviewer that there are a lot of different buildings and activities packed into the compound. Nothing really caught my attention in a big way, but I was pulled into all the memorable details. There's an exit straight out to a view of the river that was nice. Check it out if you're hotel is nearby!

Lots more happening here than the usual temple; home to school and Buddha image manufacturing.
Interesting to see the concrete structures growing step by step.
Plenty of shade, our visit was late afternoon and it was reasonably cool.

This is one of important temple in Savannakhet, not too far from the port. I came here to see Lao-style art. I went to find the painting of single-horn rhino and camel. There were so many Lao peoples in the temple while I was visiting there.
