Most Iconic and Religious place in Laos? This could be it!

Pha That Luang - Also called ‘Great Stupa’, Pha That Luang is a gold-covered large Buddhist stupa in the centre of the city of Vientiane, Laos. The stupa, which is said to house a piece of Buddha’s breastbone, is the national symbol and generally regarded as the most important national monument in Laos. Boun That Luang comes about every November, over three days around the full moon. Many pilgrims gather at That Luang to give offerings to the monks who come from all over Laos. Processions, parties and a trade show follow. Even if you don’t come here for the festival, the stupa is a sight to behold any time of year.
