|
| We can now spot our destination: Tha ton, close to Burma's border |
|
|
| No, this is not an Apple Store ... |
|
|
|
| But the place probably had the best deal for accomodation |
|
|
| The town isn't big, but its temple is spread all over the holy hill. |
|
|
| At the bottom, funny statues and artificial caves |
|
|
|
|
| The view also is nice |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Still climbing ... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Second stage, a beautiful temple |
|
|
|
|
| Third stage, big sitting Buddha |
|
|
|
|
| And more artificial caves behind it |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Fourth stage, yet another sitting Buddha |
|
|
| Fifth stage, above the monastery ground, the royal temple: Wat Tha Ton |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Amazing really |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The decoration inside is mostly financed by donations |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The view from the top is superb |
|
|
|

|
|
|
| The top part has 8 holy pictures of the Buddha |
|

|
|
|
|
|
| As the day light gets dimmer, the artificial trees light up |
|
