Wat Si Saket, Vientiane, Laos

Wat Si Saket is the oldest temple in Vientiane. It is famous for its cloister wall housing thousands of tiny Buddha images and rows with hundreds of seated Buddhas. These images mainly date from the 16th and 19th centuries and come in all sizes and are made from wood, stone and bronze – more than 6,800 Buddhas in total. Unfortunately - and completely understandable - it was not allowed to photograph inside.
