Wat Tha Khaek, the ancient temple

This ancient Temple on the bank of the Maekhong River is one of the most revered buddhist temples in Loei. Located some two kilometres from Chiang Khan District, the highlights are three sandstone Buddha images that are estimated to age over 300 hundred years old.
The style is from the historic Lanna culture. The temples are characterized by steeply pitched, multi-tiered roofs. Windows and doors are small, allowing little light in, as befits a people who originally migrated from colder climes. Lanna houses have low-pitched roofs that are unadorned, save for a V-shaped cross carved onto the houses of the rich.
