The façade of the Carriage House at Wat Xieng Thong is covered with ornate panels that illustrate the epics and teachings of Ramayana from Hindu literature. They portray Phra Lak Phra Ram which is the national epic in Laos. What made these beautiful reliefs by Thit Tanh even more impressive is that they had just been re-gilded that week and their golden glow almost hurt your eyes.
