Wat Xayyamoungkhoun

One visitor who identified the temple as their own community place of worship noted in 2012 that although Wat Xayyamoungkhoun is a newer construction, it has drawn a solid following of devoted Buddhist practitioners in the surrounding area. That combination of modest scale and active community use is precisely what makes it worth a short stop if you are wandering through Vientiane's less-visited neighborhoods.
