If you haven’t taken a look for a while .......

There may be posts you haven’t seen from earlier to your last visit.

I am adding missed posts due to lack of WiFi, illness or sheer lack of time -and adding them chronologically the date they actually happened.

Hope everything is good with you all.

Thai Buddhist Temple

The other side of the road to the Burmese Temple.  Equally as decorative and serene.  The walls of the various buildings were either covered with commemorative plaques or boxes, glass covered showing urns and inscribed with dedications.

You can see in one of the photos that sticking gold leaf on some of the statues is allowed.  (When I first saw the saw the sign, I thought ‘why would anyone want to do that? They sell  squares of gold leaf for 1RM - 20p.  It is obviously part of their ritual.

I didn’t know but Buddha statues have very many hand positions and they all mean something different.  The line of statues here are one for each Chinese Year, you can see they have different hand positions.
