Kan Win Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Any idea why I can't edit my photos? You are too late to do that as I think you have attached them. Perhaps a post noting the photos, i.e. 1. Wat ..... 2. Wat... You do not need to re-post the photos, only the places where they are would help me along and other members. Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FracturedRabbit Posted September 4, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2012 Some might argue this is not a temple in the purest sense of the word but it is called Wat Rong Khun.

Popular Post Kan Win Posted September 11, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2012 In addition to this great topic started by draggonslet us not forget one of the most famous Wat in Chiang Mai,Stupa Pagado (Golden Chedi) The famous Golden Chedi of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Rajvoravihara, Chiang Mai, Thailand, 79 feet high and 39 feet across at its base, is covered with engraved gold plates…On the platform around the Golden Chedi are four ornamental Umbrellas , brightly gilded and adorned with beautiful filigree decorations, while the walls of the surrounding cloister are painted with murals from the life of Buddha. According to legend, Holy Relics discovered during the reign of King Kuena (1355-1385) were placed in a howdah on the back of a white elephant, which carried them to Wat Suan Dok. The elephant arrived at the site of Wat Phra That (Doi Suthep), and then dropped dead due to fatigue from the long journey. The present complex dates from the 16th century and was expanded or restored several times later. A flight of 306 steps, bordered by a NAGA balustrade, leads up from the road to the temple, which has beautifully decorated buildings and a Lanna-style Chedi covered with engraved gold plates, flaked by four ornamental Umbrellas. and my fav and then we left Via the lift....
