Wat Phou: causeway

This is a map of Wat Phou area. We started our journey from the palaces which are on the right. We continue our journey from palaces through a causeway to the first step.

The palaces are behind.

The close look of stone columns (ເສົາເສ)

And the first step. Stone columns are behind

Wat Phou: The palaces

The large sign is welcoming us to the second world heritage place in Laos and its cerebration festival for the fifth anniversary of being the world heritage place.

The bazaar in front of the festival
My pictures are not good enough in strong sun light. This is North Palace.
We still will be in Wat Phou in the next posts. We will take a long walk from Palaces to the cliff.

Local handicraft on the way to Wat Phou

To go to Wat Phou I decided to use road no 13th which need to cross the Mekong using ferries.
As your vehicle reached the river bank you will see a lot of handicraft shops along the road.




If you don't know what are they or what are they for, you just buy as souvenir.
