Wat Mai SuwannaphumahamJust next door is Wat Mai, one of Luang Prabang's most important temples.

The serene atmosphere and intricate art offer a glimpse into Laos’ deep spiritual traditions.

Your next stop is the most iconic and revered temple in the city, Wat Xieng Thong.

This temple represents a blend of Khmer and Lao design influences.
-
Wat AhamJust a few steps away lies Wat Aham, a smaller but historically important temple.
