For a fee (50 cents maybe), you could climb to the top of the Patuxai. It was absolutely sweltering. About half-way up, there was an open, yet stuffy room jammed with tourists trinkets. It was a little shabby and depressing......BUT, at the top of the arch there was a wonderful breeze and the most amazing view of the city AND I got what is one of my favorite pictures of trip.
I'd like to think they designed it this way but I bet it happens to be a bit of chance. Check out how the wrought-iron Buddha sculpture almost perfectly matches the design of the street and park below. LOVE it!
