Wat Siphoutthabath
ວັດສີພຸດທະບາດ
A temple on the east slope of Mount Phou Si. A staircase leads past the Buddha's footprint to the summit, connecting with the main Phou Si route.
Wat Siphoutthabath lies at the foot of Mount Phou Si's east side. From here, you can take a separate staircase past the Buddha's footprint (Phra Bat) and a series of Buddha statues to the summit. It is more interesting and shadier than the main steps on the north side. The temple's buildings are finely decorated, and young monks often study in the courtyard. Entry to the temple is free, but a ticket for climbing Phou Si must be bought at the top, costing about 30,000 kip. It is recommended to climb from here in the afternoon, watch the sunset from the summit, and then descend by the north side to the night market.
