Ho Pra Kaew, Vientiane

The Wat Ho Pra Kaew was originally built in 1565 it has such a turbulent history to serve as the personal temple of the Lao royal family, but was steal and looted during from the Thailand(Siam) invasion.

The Wet Ho Pra Kaew temple is homage to the sacred relic it once housed, the Emerald Buddha, which was stolen by the Thais and now sits in a temple of the same name at the Grand Palace in Bangkok. The Wet Ho Pra temple you see now was renovated in the 1940s and, even without the Emerald Buddha, it’s worth a visit for its gallery of 18th century bronze Buddha statues. The collection of art celebrates Buddha in all his forms and devotees wrap the images with saffron fabric or affix squares of gold foil to the faces. The Wet Ho Pra temple grounds are lush and there are a few shady spots for some meditation. Keep an eye out for a jar from the Plain of Jars beneath a small shelter on Wet Ho Pra temple grounds.
