Laos Plain of Jars

Good view from top. Not for the faint hearted. Usual vendors selling Budda flowers and birds.

Very rustic, antique, old ancient type of museum. I liked it because because there was very little blingbling.

Most of Vientiane's sites are within easy walking distance to each other, including this one. There were very few tourists there when I visited and the atmosphere was peaceful. Take your time and walk around the grounds and inside the temple. It is not a huge place but well worth the visit.

Even though it is quite a climb up, I took the stairs slowly and made it up in less than 20 minutes. The view from the top was worth it.

Thank you for taking very good care of my family. We had a great stay in Laos!!! with excellent driver. 

The jars are really quite unique with their mysterious origins. Besides the jars themselves also the surroundings/nature is very nice. Best to do a with an organised day tour (the one from Kong Keo Guesthouse is excellent).

In some aspects parts of Wat Si Saket remind me of Wat Pho in Bangkok, although the rows of Buddha statues here are much more run-down, and quite photogenic ....especially if some young monks happen to visit simultaneously. There are hundreds of miniature statues as well both around the inner wall and in the main temple itself. Enjoyed it very much.

I did hesitate but glad I went is a good climb and it’s not that hard. Only a two steep parts and then some easy gradients which is a good break. The views are great of the city and sunset, small temple at top also you can by drinks from the shop. I went up and down from the Royal Palace side, and then into the night markets!

We have visited sites 1,2,and 3. All three are very different from each other, all amazing. All three sites had been part of the "Secret War" and show the scars. Each has a a unique character: site 1 is open with a trail providing a good overlook of the area. Site 2 is wooded with beautiful old trees shading many of the jars. Site 3 is smaller and also shaded. The special thing with this site is getting there. We were there during rice planting and had to walk the dikes through the rice paddies and were able to watch the farmers working in the paddies. In the future we are hoping to visit other sites throughout the region.

Old and ancient very well maintained and additionally maintained well organized. Seem tremendous amount of tourists visit. Will will last as well as incredible experiences especially for bhudhist.

Wow these are amazing well worth the long trip to Phonsavan. The jars are just so mysterious. The area they are situated is beautiful. Site 1 is large but more tourists. Site 3 is lovely walking through rice fields and no one was there except us. Site 2 is wonderful again no one is there. We even heard UXO’s being exploded in the distance. Worth the trip especially if you do a tour to learn more information.
