Wow! I never knew something like this existed, but it's beautiful! I can definitely see how tourism gets a huge boost from this, it's fantastically crafted and rivals anything else in the world for artistic mastery.
One thing I'm not clear on - are you allowed to enter the temple itself (from the first picture), or is it only for viewing? I'd be afraid to walk into it for fear of breaking things...
Anyway, I hadn't thought about visiting Thailand before, but after seeing your sweet pictures, I might just have to stop by some time. :D
Yes, the temple's main hall is open until dusk and is just impressive in its own right. There's very artistic Buddha statue sitting on a gold flower, but photos are forbidden. I tried but apparently, the temple's workers know every trick in the book and always politely ask me to stop...LOL. Thanks for coming by and have an awesome week!
"So glad you could travel with us..."
