Dec 22 Temple Doi Suthep - the pride of Chiang Mai (one of them)
And mine is the standing Friday Buddha.
Want to know what yours is?
Each day of the week has a governing
Buddha image. Here is Keith's which is
the Thursday Buddha.
Lots of things to talk about as we put our shoes
back on.
Irama gets a good shot of the worshipers surrounding
the central chedhi, a 16th century gold covered extension
of the original. The four multi-tiered gold leafed filigree
umbrellas at the corners, are very important for Thai families.
Elephants, Elephants, Elephants! These handsome
beasts are the base of the lampposts throughout
the temple grounds.
