Wat Paphaimisaiyaram

Shortly called Wat Pa Phai is located on Sakkarine Road, on the corner with Savang Vatthana road, in Luang Prabang. The name Wat Pa Phai means Monastery of the Bamboo Forest. In fact, if you see names of temples with the word "Pa" or "Pak" in it, there is likelihood that these are retreats that were built deep in the forest. However, often enough, the towns eventually surround these forest retreats, as in the case of Wat Pa Phai.
