The first are of Wat something something. Monks were walking around as they have their schools right along side the temples. The temples are very open and don't really have walls. Here a new temple stood in front of an old temple that was built in the 1300's.
Wat Suan Dok was also very beautiful. The monks here were vary talkative and wanted to practice their English. They were all students at the nearby University. It was the most beautiful day when we visited this temple, the clouds were so big and puffy. The day before it had rained a lot, so we were thankful for the dry weather. Inside the temples there are lots of statues of Buddah, or monks that are now dead. They are covered with gold and I heard that it is traditions to get some sort of gold foil and layer it onto the statues when you pray to them.
PS It makes me so mad because I can't rotate my verticle images so they all come out horizontal. Hope you guys don't get a neck ake.
