It is in Vientaine right? On the background, there's another construction going on. I don't know the name of this temple.

ok, I change my mind. I think this temple is in Lao because this is Lao style temple.

Cambodia temple sit a little higher from the ground and on the roof they have a stupa/pyramid like structure.

Can't be any temple in the USA. The setting is definitely in Laos. Beside the craftmanship look too good to be in the USA. Yep I admit it the temple here doesn't look this good as the one in the picture.

I've been to many temples in USA. Non come close to the one in Laos in term of craftmanship. If people back in Laos have the same budget as here in USA, the temple in Laos would look even better.

Lao in USA does not have expert craftmans and carpentry relating to Laos temple design. They night know how things are done but they are not expert.

I agree, the architectural of temples in U.S. aren't anything close to those temples back home.
