Wat Tham Phu Si, Luang Prabang

The Buddha image at Wat Tham Phu Si, Luang Prabang.

Wat Tham Phu Si is a small cave temple about half way up Mount Phousi in Luang Prabang. It is accessible via a flight of steps from Phousi Road.

I visited Wat Tham Phu Si when I explored Luang Prabang. From Wat Tham Phu Si, we continued climbing the stairs until we arrived at Wat Chom Si at the summit of Mount Phousi.

Wat Tham Phu Si is built among the rocks, in places where the rocks form a natural cave, or more precisely, grottoes. Within the grottoes is Wat Tham Phu Si's primary Buddha image, which has a wide girth. It was in the style called Pha Kachai. There is nothing of particular significance at Wat Tham Phu Si, so I did not stay there for long. Moreover, I arrived on Mount Phousi when it was evening, and I had to rush up the hill to catch the spectacular sunset.

About this website

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. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. 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.
