This was the first wat i ever went to visit in Thailand.
the cloisters at the monastery had over 50 bronze buddhas. some were from burma, some reproductions others originals
the starving buddha - a symbol of how it is possible to subdue the mind.

the roof of the temple with prayer flags in view
one of the temple cats
in temples (as in the streets) there are many stray cats and dogs. the animals the have taken 'refuge' in the temple see the monks as their masters who feed and take care of them.
