8. Wat Si Muang is one of Vientiane’s most popular sites of worship, and offers a fascinating insight into how old animist beliefs have blended seamlessly with Theravada Buddhism. According to local legend, when the temple was being built in 1563 a young pregnant woman named Si Muang volunteered to sacrifice herself to appease the angry spirits. She threw herself into a hole in the ground where the building’s central pillar was to be placed, and was crushed when the massive pillar was lowered into position. This central pillar also formed the centre of the town that was springing up around Wat Si Muang, which to this day is revered as the ‘mother temple’ of Vientiane.

• 5Excellent private day tour of Vientiane!

  Loved this day tour — it showed me the best of Vientiane in just one day! The tour started with a pickup from my hotel at 10 am by my guide, Chansay, and ended with a drop-off around 4:30–5 pm. I learned a lot about the history of Laos and visited many notable sites in and around the city, including Buddha Park, Patuxai Gate, Pha That Luang Stupa, Wat Sisaket Temple, Khop Chai Deu Restaurant (for lunch), Ho Phra Keo Royal Museum, the Presidential Palace, the COPE Visitor Center, and Wat Simuang. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and want to give a big thank you to my guide Chansay and his driver Youy for such an engaging and informative tour! If you’re looking for a quality day tour that lets you see Vientiane in just one day, I highly recommend this one.

About Vientiane

Vientiane, capital of Laos, is a slow river city on the Mekong, with a golden stupa, French-era boulevards and a riverside promenade.

Vientiane stands on the east bank of the Mekong, facing Thailand across the river. It is a low-rise and unhurried capital, laid out under French rule with boulevards, bakeries and colonial villas among its temples. Pha That Luang, a golden stupa rising from a walled courtyard, is the national symbol, and Patuxai, a victory monument modelled on the Arc de Triomphe, stands at the end of the main avenue.
