Visit Ancient Places in Vientian
Good morning Lao !
We got up early ,had breakfast and then went to whole day trip ...
Vientiane ,this name of city in Lao means "City of Sandalwood" ,which is derived from Pali language.
This city was established as the capital of the Lane Xang Kingdom during the reign of King Sayasetthathirath,
who moved the capital from Luang Prabang in 1560.The city's full name was Phra Nakhorn Chanthabouly
Sisattanak Khanahood Outtama Rajathany.
The morning in Lao was peaceful ,people get up early and gave foods to monks. There were not much vehicles. We reached the center point of Vientiane which is biggest department store in the city called
Talad Chao means morning market. The transportation in Vientiene is like this....
Wat Prakaew (Emerald Buddha )
Then we reached the first temple and most important one .Wat Prakaew ( Emerald Buddha ) and
Phra Xekkham ( Golden Buddha ) images were relocated from Chiangmai city to Vientiane in 1566.
King Sayasetthathiraj oversaw the renovation of That Luang Stupa and the construction of Phra
That Phanom shrine,in present day Thailand, and the Phra That Sikhottabong Stupa in Thakhek.
You can see the oldest style of craving in the wall but still don't colorful it.
