The beauty of unsolved mysteries

Written By Sali Sasaki

Wat Phou
or the beauty of unsolved mysteries.

Rather than a place, Wat Phou is a feeling, an emotion… brought from the past.

The scattered ruins of the Hindu-Khmer complex, now blending with the tropical mountain landscape, hold their hidden secrets to this day.

Wat Phou’s history is like an un-decoded cipher that archeologists still struggle to piece back together.

Human civilisations come and go…
Only nature perpetually remains.

Wat Phou, UNESCO World Heritage Site — Champassak District, Lao PDR.
