The Sim of Wat Xieng Thong
The Wat Xieng Thong’s most impressive building is the sim, the temple’s congregation hall. Both the sim’s exterior and interior are very extensively decorated with intricate gold stencilling on black lacquer.
Altar inside Sim of Wat Xieng Thong in Luang Prabang
This Buddha statue in the meditation position wearing a saffron robe is the centerpiece of the altar at the Sim at Wat Xieng Thong in Luang Prabang.
We got impressed with the intricate gold stenciling that covers the interior walls and ceiling. This sim is just one of several at the monastery complex that was founded in the mid-16th century.
