Wat Chedi Luang Chaing Mai

I have been to many Wats over many years and thought I had seen it all, but Wat Chedi Luang (to me) is different. It had a very calming effect and I just wanted to sit there and take it in.

Apologies to Dal as some of the pis are similar to yours, post #122. But I just love this place.

@ Bill.

Apologies not necassary.

I got the same feeling there and actually sat down myself and took in the atmosphere at Wat Chedi.

Great pics!

Some monks coming down from the temple on Doi Sutthep.

I am not sure if this Wat is part of the Wat Chedi Chaing Mai complex, but was situated right next door. It is a lovely wooden structure; hope you enjoy.

Wat Chalong, Phuket

Third floor. In the middle there is teeth of Sri Lankan monks, which are considered holy relics.

(I had no idea how to take the shot. There was a bit dirty class wall around.

Does any of you guys have pictures of the Million Beer Bottle temple?

I am doing a little article on "strange" temples for a friends web- site, but no one seems to have any decent pic of that temple.

Any chance here???

If you want strange temples DocN you must go to this place in Ang Thong

The Mrs had hold of the camera that day and was only interested in taking photos of our friends so I have limited number.

Phar Ubosot.

Seems Islam is not the only religion that has virgins in heaven.

The gates of Hell. Inside you will see what you sinners are in for if you don't reform quickly

You could wander round this place for hours taking photos.

Those were lovely photos, Blether, of the opulence of Thai temples. The only thing that bothers me is the majority of Thai people live on very little money. I doubt if it was the wealthy Thai people who paid for those opulent temples. Something is wrong with that picture.

That fourth shot is just plain weird, Robby nz

Thanks, these are not uncommon, bee hives. I was fascinated that for some strange reason unexplained(to me) the bees tend to congregate in these specific places.

If a reader can explain this phenomenon here it would by highly appreciated. Here is another example

Thanks for posting this DAL!

Amazing temple. Would be interesting to know what was there first, the main building or the Buddha statue.
