Wat Tao Hai, Luang Prabang

Entrance archway to Wat Tao Hai.

Wat Tao Hai is a village temple on the eastern bank of the Nam Khan River near Luang Prabang. It is located close to the Sisavangvong Bridge. Like many of the temples located outside the main portion of Luang Prabang, Wat Tao hai had me doing a bit of searching in order to locate it. What I found was a lovely, not very big temple entered through a temple archway.

The sim is in the Laotian style, with a dok so faa decorating its roof. There are a few other structures in the compound of Wat Tao Hai. My tuk tuk stopped and waited while I explored and took some photographs. There is nothing particularly unique of this temple.

How to go to Wat Tao Hai

Wat Tao Hai is located on the eastern bank of the Nam Khan River, after the Sisavangvong Bridge, on the outskirts of Luang Prabang. It is difficult to find, so unless your tuk tuk driver knows the way, you might not be able to get there. If you are determined to go there, find a good map and get a knowledgeable tuk tuk to take you.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
