Wat That Luang (That Luang Stupa): The original stupa, which is covered in 500kg of gold leaf, was built in 1566 by King Saysethathirath. It was built to resemble a lotus bud of about 9 meters high and 10 meters wide, surrounding a small, elongated stupa. The stupa has undergone several reconstructions, the last as recently as the 1930s, due to foreign invasions of the area.
