Wat A Place

[Andrew Dwyer 13,613]

This is possibly the most intricate Wat I have seen in Thailand !!

Wat Phrathat Ha Duang , Li, south of Lamphun on the 106 highway .

 

 

 

 

Notice all the animals from the “ year of “ signs in the above photo, very nice.

 

 

Look at the detail on these doors !!

 

 

Also in the roof space above the doors !!

 

Unfortunately i wasn’t able to view inside .

 

Here’s another in the same grounds !!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t know who’s selling them their gold paint but he’s making an absolute fortune !!

 

Had to leave my mark ( + the gf and her family members ) in this beautiful place .

This is a little bit special temple in Chiang Kham in Phayao Province. 

 

The name is Wat Nantaram and you can find it in Google Maps with this link: https://goo.gl/maps/7FnWMdpdwsSqQgB27

Wat Phra Bat Phu Pan Kham - Khon Kaen

[Andrew Dwyer 13,613]

Now this has gotta be one of the strangest Wats in Thailand, a huge , and I mean HUGE complex catering for hundreds of thousands of followers, multi story car parks as far as the eye can see .

Before I lived in Navanakorn and could see the glow from the dome at sunset .

It truly is the weirdest of the weird.

 

Wat Phra Dhammakaya ( the flying saucer temple )

Wat Sriboonruang in Chiang Rai Province

[Halfaboy 2,602]

Some pictures of Prasaat Nontapleng (Chopaka, Ban Kruat, Buriram). The (remnants) of this building are from a Chapel for a rest-house in Mahayana Buddhism (13^th century).

 

Although the building looks like just a heap of stones, there is still lots of magic powers around. So much that monks cannot stay in the direct area.

 

First two pictures are at the entrance and the next two show the remnants of the Chapel.
