This was such a beautiful temple! We came for Laos New Year and there were so many people. I would love to come back for one of the other festivals to see how they decorate.
A great festival to celebrate. The Thai food was everywhere..! If you've never gone I'd recommend visiting and enjoying something different.
I really do wish I lived in Texas so I could visit the temple as often as possible. I have family that lives in the area that goes on a weekly basis. I brought my father's ashes here to be kept & we had such a beautiful ceremony for him. I cry every time I think of the generosity & kindness of everyone, even people who didn't know him showed up to show their support. Makes me so proud of my Asian heritage.
Celebrating LTC new year here this yr after it being halted for 2yrs and it was worth every dollar here. The temple itself is large and can hold a great amount of people with parking around it. Please remember that this is a place of worship/alms giving for many people so if you enter a building; please take off your shoes. Don't crawl or climb on the statues or buildings. Be respectful around the elders for they hold many years of love and wisdom. The crowd was very respectful and the food was good with great vendors. Great place to visit for Buddhist followers.
Came today for the Lao New Year festival (day 2 of a 3 day weekend event). Entrance fee (temple donation) was $5 a person. There were many booths mostly selling hot food and drinks, fruits, clothes, and small knickknacks skin care products. 2 live stages had different bands performing concurrently so was chaotic but otherwise everything seemed under control. It was sunny in the low 80s so the many umbrella covered eating tables were a welcome sight. The main building of worship we visited today is serene and mostly vacant, with 2 monks on site to bless the parishioners in a water and bracelet ritual.
