Wat Si Saket, believed to be the oldest temple in Vientiane, was constructed in 1818 and stands as a testament to its resilience, having survived the Siamese occupation that devastated much of the capital in 1828. The temple’s cloister walls are adorned with thousands of Buddha sculptures, varying in size and creating a visually striking display. Visitors can explore this historic site and gain insight into the profound significance of Buddhism in the local culture.
