Relive the dream of that Laotian king who dreamt of his wife and heir on a lotus flower as you walk through the gardens when you visit Wat Visoun. It was because of this prophecy that he ordered the construction of the stupa of That Phatoum, the Lotus stupa! Can you imagine standing before it and then touring the grounds feeling like King Chao Wisounarat himself? Inside the most beloved temple by the faithful in Luang Prabang, you can be amazed at the impressive golden Buddha that gives the city its name, the Phra Bang.
"That Phatoum is also known as That Makmo or Watermelon Stupa, due to its rounded shape"
On your visit to Wat Visoun you will hear the stories of the looting the city and temple have suffered throughout history. Blend in with the faithful and the monks in red robes, breathe the tranquility and serenity that fills the halls and rooms, and try to imagine them with all their treasures. The history of this part of Indochina is a true tale of war and peace. Do you dare to discover the most solemn point of Luang Prabang?
