^^^ @ SJ...

This is most likely a field workers "away" dwelling for the times in the forest.

On field treks in the bush I have come across many of these all over

Southeast Asia. Many folks tend to natural plants like cashews & wild

banana's etc up in the hills & build these to keep em cozy during their stay.

This is a really nice one, many are dilapidated. Good discovery!

DOI CHANG:

This was not exactly a wat.... It was a shrine (with a small wat in it, but I did not snap it). Exact location is still a mystery to me!

The guardian at the gate

This lovely shrine lay in the middle of a forest

Hill people used to grow opium poppies here.

Spirit house guarding a well from where they take water

Another shrine in a lake

This looks as if it's floating!

A separate shrine, near the summit of Doi Suthep.

Wat Phra Phutthabat Tak Pha, lies to the SW of Lamphun, in amphoe Pa Sang. Amongst all the oddities is a tableau depicting the stages of life....

So far so good!

OK on the left, but getting depressing at the far end

OK, enough already!

No matter what angle I approached this, it was just wrong!

New little Mosque on Samui... not the most attractive one I've ever seen... but handy for the Muslims who live or visit, on the north end of the island! (Maenam)

If you are ever up around Doi Mae Salong, this is a beautiful wat with a great view.

Mae Sai, 1/2/14

A few from Doi Saket today. Was nice to get out of Chiang Mai and get to a place with almost not tourists.

An older Temple near Phatthalung ... Wat Yang Ngan....

I like these old temples!

Wanted to get out of Chiang Mai and get some fresh air so I headed up to Wat Doi Thaen Phra which is up past the Jo Cheek Reservoir located north east of Mae Jo University. Would have gotten some other pictures but was having to shoot around tents. I think they are getting ready for Makha Bucha day already.

And this is the reservoir

Khao Chee Chan (Buddha mountain, Sattahip)

The outline of the sitting Buddha, also known as Sukhothai-era Buddha, stands 130 meters tall and 71 meters wide.

It was Built in 1996 to commemorate King Bhumibol’s golden jubilee, the 50th anniversary of his accession to the throne,

the King’s children with members of the department of Geological Resources and the nearby Asian Institute of Technology

started the construction. Using American laser technology the image was carved into the sheer cliff in just two days.

This temple seems to be spread over quite an area and this would appear to be the Nuns part
