Vat Phan Luang Ratsoudaram
Built in 1951 "The Temple of Great Lineage" is situated on the right bank of the Nam Khan. It replaced an earlier monastery within a community of potters, about 200m to the south east, that monastery being destroyed when the French administration built a larger straight road connecting to Phetsarath Road. The main Buddha image is believed to have come from Mueang Yu near the Vietnamese border. [The Lao Sangha and Modernity]
