This Buddhist stupa is also known as That
Chomsi. It measures about 30 metres and was built in 1576. The Lanna
inspired structure stands tall over the town and can be entered by a cavity left
by the Chinese Ho marauders, over a century ago after they looted the stupa in
order to seize valuable Buddha images enshrined within. The stupa was erected to
cover ashes of Lord Buddha that were brought from India, during a time when
Buddhism was proliferating in Laos. There are few if any sleeping options within
this area so it is advised to take a day trip from the more populated Phonosavan.
