Pha That Luang
Situated in Vientiane, Pha That Luang is a gold-covered stupa. This is undoubtedly the most important Buddhist monument in Laos. It was built in the 16th century on the ruins of an earlier Khmer temple. The stupa terraces have three levels. Each level represents a different stage of Buddhist doctrines. The temple was destroyed by a Thai attack in 1828, later reconstructed after 2nd World War.
