Celebrating New Year in Thailand !
The roads are not that busy, some malls are closed and only few people are roaming around the street.
Holiday ? Rest day ? That's what I thought
When we went to the Emerald Buddha , the crowds are there.
And for that day no need to pay the entrance fee.
The entrance
"Phra Rabiang "
The Enclosure Gallery with mural painting depicting the
Ramakian Story (Ramayana in India)
Some Sanskrit Writings ~
 |
| Rup Yak ( Six pairs of Demon figures) |
People entering the temple.
 |
| People took a lotus > dip in the water > and pat it in their head. |
 |
| sooo pretttyyy (✿◠‿◠) |
Their designs are so amazing
 |
| Rup Sat Himaphan ( The Mythological figures who inhabit Himavant forest of Thai cosmology) |
(gold ~ ^^)
The Exit
Nakhon Wat Chamlong
( i'm not sure why, but they are throwing coins there ~)
Monk's ceremony
Phra Wihan Yot
( this one serves as a Chapel for the Phra nak image)
Shoes are not allowed so you need to put them outside.
Thai people are honest, no one would even dare to steal.
Entrance to the Emerald Buddha
 |
| Outside the Temple |
It's really hard to smile on that weather.
It's almost like summer there .
i didn't have a chance to take any pictures in the inside of Emerald Buddha
since it is not allowed.
Clothing tips:
no shorts, no mini-skirts,no leggings,
in short you need to cover up yourself but don't wear any fit clothes.
Just in case you are not prepared you can rent proper clothes outside the temple.
How to get there:
Always ride a taxi that is provided by your hotel staff.
It will only cost around 100 baht
Others would charge you 200, some would say that the road is closed and you they can only drop you off in a place far from there and you need to ride a boat to get there
( taxi drivers will earn commissions by doing this)
So be careful and have fun
Bye
