Where is the real Prabang status ?

I think the real Phra Bang is kept at the museum in Luang Prabang now.

Indeed this is the real Prabang and the status is currently kept at the former Royal Palace of Lao. The reason I said it is real was because the status has a broken left foot due to an earthquake during early of 1828 one day prior of king Anouvong marched his army from Vieng Chan to Khorat.

I do remember that the Prabang that I saw in Luangprabang since 2001 was not the real Prabang. I had to considered it was some things wrong about Prabang becasue Ong Prabang that I saw wasn't like the old picture of Ong Prabang since 1910s I don't know where is the real Ong Prabang and many people also think like i though. It must be good if the lao gov have to explan about this.
What do you think?

for your information, the real Prabang statue is now saved in the safe box at the Central bank of Lao PDR.
This is true you can ask any high ranking official of Laos.

Prakheo was brought from Xiengmai to Xiengdong-Xiengthong in 1552 by Saiyasetha The Great.That moment Phrabang was there before and believed that Phra Keaw and Phrabang are opposted to eachother,so Phra Keaw must be go away.Saiyasetha The Great brought Phra Keaw back to Xiengmai but the are already had a new king,so Phra Keaw was back to Lanxang again but to Wiengchanh not Xiengthong.

Xiengsaen has had 2 Phra Keaws.One is from a That at Xiengsean (later brought to Lampang ,Xiengmai,Lao and finally Bangkok) and the left one is from Kho Don Thaen (in Khong River next to Xiengsean) and now is in Lampang.

Phrabang was from Kmer Empire since +1,000 years ago.During Indocina War (1942~),Thai military marched in Laos to overcome the French Colonial Army.They brought 43 Bhudha images from Udomsai and Luang Phrabang but not Phrabang.

So Phrabang was possible to be move out during that war and then came back again with doubt.
