Oum Moung

The temple site contains two partially preserved gopura entranceways adorned with detailed lotus-bud carvings and sandstone decorations beneath dipterocarp trees.

Built during King Yasovarman I reign in the late 9th century, Oum Moung formed part of the extended religious network connected to Wat Phu Champasak.

The temple features a distinctive lingam-style stone post with two carved faces, rather than the traditional four faces found in Khmer religious architecture.

Visitors can reach the site by taking a boat from Champasak or Don Daeng across the Mekong, followed by a 4.5-kilometer journey from Route 13.

The temple exhibits a fusion of architectural elements through its bronze Sukhothai-style Buddha positioned within a white structure at the center.
