helbob Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I am not sure, maybe it is not finished now because the concrete is not painted and without tiles. The dirt road looks like not used for long time. The temple area was not cleaned for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dirt road looks like not used for long time. The temple area was not cleaned for a long time. These recents temples (Here it looks more like a simple stupa and not an entire temple) in the middle of nowhere are build with the donations from the faithtul, when a monk or the abbot in another temple, in Bangkok or in another big city, native from the area, decides to ''mark'' his native territory with a holy construction, also providing this way some job for the locals usualy charged to do the work and being paid for it. When finished it becomes also an ''attraction'' to visit and drain some tourists in the area, something that can be beneficial for the local population Usualy regular visits are organised by the religious accompagned by the donators on the site to motivate more donations and show the use of the money. There are still a lot of wealthy Thais more than happy to do some ''merits'' in this way at least it was the case before covid. My guess is with the covid crisis the donations have dried, or the monk\abbot is sick or dead, probably due to old age, hence the unfinished construction and the stop on the cleaning, nobody being paid anymore for it.

Popular Post ExpatOilWorker Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 Some tree hugging German apparently was running this bar imposing 10,000 baht fines for throwing a cigarette butt. He did what humans are best at, made a profit, or probably a loss, and left a sad mess behind. Mol, you should be ashamed of yourself!

There was a time when woodchip power generators were going to be all the rage, but I don't think they caught on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a periodic weeding of the yard, the structure itself has stayed in the current condition. I'm beginning to think it's haunted! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
