Description: |
|
Wat Pa Phai, the 'Monastery of the Bamboo Forest', is located on
a side street between Sisavangvong and Kounxoua Roads, about 100
meters northwest of Wat Paphane. The temple may have been
founded as early as 1645 (per Parmentier) but 1815 is given as a
more likely date by Luang Prabang historians.
The temple's
sim (congregational hall) is one of a number of Luang Prabang
temples built in the so-called Luang Prabang Style III, a UNESCO
classification. Hallmarks of this style include the use of
columns of the same height on the exterior of the building, a
lack of internal columns, the inclusion of a veranda, and the
positioning of the main Buddha image against the back wall with
no gallery behind it. |
