Photographer’s Note
What Si Saket is the oldest temple still intact in Vientiane. All other temples are either built after this temple, or are restored after the destruction of Vientiane by Siam in 1828. This temple was built in the Bangkok style, and this is probably the reason why this temple was saved by the Siamese. This temple contains a total of 6840 Buddha images!
The inner walls of the monastery contain more than 2000 small niches with silver and ceramic Buddha images. There are more than 300 standing and seated statues of Buddha in wood, stone, silver and bronze.
