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.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore.

By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
