The Unesco World Heritage recognition of Luang Prabang gave added impetus to the town to polish its heritage, and to do it in a sustainable, heritage-friendly manner. This lead to restoration of many Laotian temples and the support to cottage industries. After many years of abandonment, the construction of the temple resumed in 1993. Inside this very ornate hall is an exquisite pavillion to house the Pha Bang Buddha Image.

The Haw Pha Bang, within the grounds of the Royal Palace Museum of Luang Prabang is one of the latest tourist attractions in the Unesco World Heritage town. Haw Pha Bang is the Royal Palace Chapel, and befitting its name, is a grand building, one of the most prominent in Luang Prabang. The temple was first constructed as early as 1963, but due to numerous upheavals, was only completed in 2006. When we visited Luang Prabang in December 2009, workmen were still putting finishing touches to the temple.
