Believed to be the oldest temple in Vientiane, Wat Si Saket was built in 1818 and survived the Siamese occupation, which destroyed much of the capital in 1828. The temple’s cloister walls are home to thousands of Buddha sculptures of varying sizes. A visit offers a glimpse into the importance of Buddhism to local culture.
