One of the oldest temple complexes. Viewing was part of our sightseeing tour of Bangkok. Entrance - only 100 baht, plus a bottle of cold water is given to the ticket. The gates are guarded by guardian statues with strange faces. If the statue is barefoot, then it is a beast, if it is a man in shoes. Many stupas of different sizes and colors were built on the territory, in which urns with the ashes of the Chakri dynasty, the royal family of Rama 1 and beyond are stored. Stupas are lined with beautiful ornaments made of small pieces of porcelain tiles. What a job!
Clothing should be decent, covered shoulders and knees. The entrance to the temple is barefoot only. Security is watching.
The statue is not big, it is huge!! ! ) There are a lot of tourists, it's a queue to take a photo.
Inside, we throw coins into each bowl, as many as 108 pieces, make wishes - and what if it comes true! )))
Further, we consider the pavilion of the origin of Thai massage, with ancient schemes on the wall.
There is also a 5-day massage school for a fee. There are many more halls with small statues of Buddha, standing and sitting. There are prayer rooms.
There is much we do not understand about Buddhism.
Loved it, must see.
