Review & FAQ:
Wat Si Saket, in Vientiane, is an active Buddhist temple surrounded by tropical fruit trees, with a five-tiered roof, a beautiful veranda, and some ornate decor. Each morning, worshippers visit the temple to show respect and make offerings of food to the monks in a lovely daily ceremony that is available to witness. Inside this temple, there are thousands of tiny statues of the seated Buddha – statues made of wood, stone, clay, and metal, some of which date back to the 16th century. These statues, which number almost 7,000, take up an entire wall of the cloister and are the most famous feature of Wat Si Saket.
