- Wat Si Muang - Wat Si Muang is a popular worship site in Vientiane, offering a captivating look at how ancient animist beliefs have seamlessly merged with Theravada Buddhism.
According to local legend, during the temple’s construction in 1563, a young pregnant woman named Si Muang sacrificed herself to appease the angry spirits. She leapt into a hole where the building’s central pillar was to be placed and was crushed when the massive pillar was lowered. This central pillar became the heart of the town that developed around Wat Si Muang, which is still revered as the ‘mother temple’ of Vientiane.
- Black Stupa (That Dam) - That Dam, or the black stupa, refers to an inverted bell shape (or unopened lotus flower) structure that typically contains Buddha relics.
Legend has it that a seven-headed water serpent, a ‘Naga’, resided here to protect the stupa, which was once covered in pure gold. During the Siamese-Laotian war in the 1820s, the gold was looted and taken to Siam, now Thailand, leaving behind the black stupa.
Known as the ‘Black Stupa’, many locals believe this mythical structure was once home to a seven-headed dragon (now dormant) that defended the city from Siamese threats. Another story suggests that the gold that once adorned the surface was taken when the Siamese army plundered Vientiane in 1828.
