Giant Buddha statue across the Mekong River!

The centrepiece of this hilltop temple across the Mekong from Pakse is the giant golden Buddha statue looking out over the city. I met a local guide here who shared with me that this is a sacred Hindu temple originally built in the 12th century during the reign of the Khmer Empire. The view here is amazing, especially when the sun is setting! Look at that skyline and the clouds! #laos
