Si Muang Park

Here I take a look around Si Muang Park located in the centre of the capital, adjacent to Wat Si Muang, Vientiane's revered Buddhist Temple.  
The park is dominated by a statue of King Sisavang Vong, King of Luang Phrabāng between 1904-46 and then King of Laos between 1946–59. He is best remembered for presiding  over independence from France 
The statue, of which there are two - the other being in the grounds of the Royal Palace Museum in Lunag Prabang shows the king in the act of bestowing a constitution upon his people.
