Temples in Vientiane, Laos


 Pha That Luang is one of the most famous temples in Vientiane. 
 I wanted to go inside the golden temple, but tourists are only allowed to walk around the gardens.




 Outside the temple, there's a statue of a Laotian leader who fought for independence of Laos.
 I knew Laos was a Buddhist country, but didn't know there was literally a temple next to a temple like this. Explaining every photo would be really boring.





 This lying Buddha attracted me all the way from Pha That Luang. You can't miss the giant Buddha ;)





 This couple donned in traditional costumes was taking their wedding photos at the temple. Aww, how adorable! ^_^
People prayed to this wooden dragon for more rain during droughts. 








A Laotian salad. Lots of cilantro and mayo. Yep, that's crab cake...  According to a local, Laotians eat spicy papaya salad almost every day, like how Koreans eat kimchi.
