Luang Prabang / Wat Visoun

Photo: Stupa in Wat Visoun

This Wat south of Mount Phousi is a replica of an older Wat, which had been erected in the same place in 1513. Even though the replica has been built only in 1898, it does exude the atmosphere of a monastery of the middle ages. The Wat houses numerous religious art treasures.

Like these, it has the power of affecting the respiratory mucous membrane, and is used for many complaints, which are accompanied by chronic catarrh.
