Lonely Planet review

In the northeastern corner of town near the meeting of the Nam Khan and the Mekong River is a string of historic, still active temples. Facing Th Sakkarin is Wat Sensoukarahm, a Thai-style wat built in 1718 and restored in 1932 and 1957. The name reportedly refers to its founding on an initial KN100000 donation. It has one of the most dazzling facades of all of Luang Prabang's temples; rich ruby red with intricate gold overlay.
