Experts' Choice Award Wat Tat Luang
What the experts agree on
Tat Luang hosts Luang Prabang's most important Buddhist ceremonies, anchored by an 1818 ordination hall flanked by two striking stupas. The distinctive architecture blends Corinthian and Indian influences in this royal ritual site.
Lonely Planet "The current large sǐm (ordination hall) is an 1818 rebuild whose leafy column-capitals look more Corinthian than Indian. The sǐm is bracketed by two stupas." Full review
Frommer's "That Luang has long been one of the important ritual sites for Buddhist, traditional, and royal events; the Festival of the 12th month, or Tat, in particular...there are two large stupas on the ground" Full review
