In Luang Prabang, Laos, this was one of the smarter temples, situated in the Palace Gardens, in this fascinating old town which is a mixture of ancient Buddhism and Colonial French.
"Luang Prabang is a charming town. Not very big, probably rather larger than Clifden, but nowhere near as large as Galway. The traffic is slow and not too heavy, mostly duk duks, a few trucks and lots of motor cycles. There are lots of coconut palms and other trees so that if you climb the little hill in the centre, you can hardly see the houses. The buildings are nice - French Colonial if they are of any size, and open fronted wooden houses otherwise."
