again and again.
After descending Phousi, I became awestruck by the glow of Haw Pha Bang.
We sat on a bench and enjoyed the last few minutes of golden hour with Haw Pha Bang as the star performer. This temple is really just incredible and probably my favorite in all of Southeast Asia (not that I’ve seen them all!).
Setting up the night market.
Haw Pha Bang was completed in… 2006. Yep, it’s a baby. Thankfully, it was built in the traditional style using traditional materials. The temple stores the standing Buddha (Pha Bang) that gives Luang Prabang its name.
Wat Pahouak is also at the base of Phousi. We stopped in for a glance and then went back out to stare at Haw Pha Bang some more.
Really, I couldn’t stop taking photos. You may have noticed.
