  7. Wat Nong Sikhounmuang

Temple sheltering one of the largest pagodas in Luang Prabang, which was recently renovated.

Situated opposite the "Elephant" restaurant, the pagoda is richly decorated with stencils. In a style inspired by that of Vientiane (see the architectural section), the temple has one of the most dazzlingly beautiful coloured roofs, in the Thai style, the same sort as that of Wat Sene.
