What is Wat Si Saket known for?
Completed in 1818, Wat Si Saket was the only temple in Vientiane to survive the pillaging of the city by the Siamese in 1828, perhaps because the temple was built in traditional Thai style. It is renowned for the more than 10,000 Buddha images, of all shapes and sizes, in every possible nook and cranny.
How long does it take to tour Wat Si Saket?
The temple is open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the entrance fee for foreign visitors is approximately 30,000 Kip. A visit typically takes about an hour. You can reach the temple by walking or taking a tuk-tuk from the city center.
Is Sisaket worth visiting?
With plenty of Khmer Ruins, Sisaket is an interesting destination to visit. It is also the gateway to visit the world famous Preah Vihear ruins, a cliff-top Khmer sanctuary most of which is just across the border in Cambodia. The province grows a wide variety of fruits, such as rambutan and durian.
Is Wat Saket worth visiting?
Unlike the city's grand and ornate temples, Wat Saket feels a little more down to earth – and that's part of its charm. What really makes it stand out, though, is the climb to the top of the Golden Mount. The views over Bangkok are honestly some of the best you'll get without stepping into a skyscraper.
