After breakfast I took off to find a couple of statues I had missed the day before and in the process found more temples I had missed…
In many temples you can hear the sound of children. I was told that some families cannot afford to feed their children and give them up to the temples. This country is very poor.
At the park near my hotel, I also saw an altar.
As I walked off towards a temple, I saw this sign outside a restaurant. It is amazing to think that Thailand is only 1 km away.
Wat Mixayaram.
Wat Ong Tau.
For an offering you can receive a blessing. The monk uses knotted strings to run across the inside of the arm while saying blessings to you. He then knows the bracelet on your wrist. You are to leave it on for 3 days.
Wat Hai Sak
The serpent naught my eye and e very striking. I saw that the scales were made from shells.
Wat In Pong.
Wat Xieng Vae.
Some of the stupas inside the fence are close to the wall. Some like these are part of the wall on the backside of the stupa. Inside the wall they would stick out and hold the artifacts of an important person.
Wat Hua Mueng.
Some repairs are being made here. It shades me how strong the bamboo scaffolding is here in southeast Asia.
While there, I heard drum beats as a call for food. This in need where arriving to the dining hall to receive food from the Monks. I had seen them carry rice pots from the building on the right to the hall on the left.
Wat Simuang.
Wat
That Kao
Chanthabury temple.
That Dam.
Vat Phiavat.
A drum tower.
Xieng Nyueng.
I think I have exhausted most of the temples here.
