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

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

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 .

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 )

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 (13th 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.

Wat Sri Utumpron, Nakhon Sawan 

 

If on the number 1 Highway between Nakhon Sawan and Kamphaeng Phet a slight diversion onto 1072 ( headed towards Lat Yao ) brings you to this wonderful Wat.

Some amazing detail, especially in the “ hall “, well worth half an hour or so to see it in its full beauty.

Wat Panya Nantharam 
Khlong Luang, Pathum Thani

 

This is one of those Dharma Practice Centers but has this nice Wat in the foreground in some beautiful gardens with what looks like a painting gallery underneath. Will be beautiful when finished no doubt.
