The entrance to the vat is located on the northeast side of Mount Phousi, opposite the former Royal Palace. The "bamboo forest" monastery was founded in 1861 by Phagna Si Mahan Nam, during the reign of Chantharath. Its wall paintings of the XIXth illustrate the miracle of Jamboupati, a prince too full of his person in front of which Buddha appeared like a king in all his majesty in order to give him a lesson of humility. If this small temple seems neglected, even abandoned - it has not been renovated -, it comes back to life during the festival season.
