That Dam

The black stupa

What we say:

A short walk from the centre of town, this blackened stupa is regarded as more of a landmark than an attraction. It's clearly quite old, but there is no signage or any information about it.

Legend is that That Dam was home to a seven-headed dragon with the power to protect Vientiane from invaders — perhaps its failure to do so is why this stupa receives no up-keep! There's little to see here, but there are some charming cafes beside it. Free.

Rating (out of 10):

Please note reviews are now pre moderated. Not all reviews will be published and submissions may be edited for clarity, typos and style before they appear. Ranting tirades, spam and anything else that really belongs somewhere else won't make the cut. If you want to rant, go to Thorntree.
