This temple, built in 1818, was recently named as one of the world's most endangered monuments. Established during the reign of King Anouvong, the last King of Laos, it is the oldest wat in Vientiane and the only one to survive the invasions of the 1820s. Around the perimeter are 10,136 bronze and metal Buddha statues. This ancient place of worship is definitely worth a visit as it is not only an interesting site to look around, but also a valuable piece of Lao's cultural heritage.
