Cool On The Exterior, Warm Within



What? Another Wat?

Saturday, March 10, 2007 @ 5:14 PM

This was the second Wat that we visited that morning and it was definitely the more interesting of the two!








If you noticed, this is Ayutthaya's version of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. I read that this was due to the soft sand underneath which leads to the slanting angle of the structure.

And the highlight of this Wat will have to be this Sandstone Buddha!

The roots of the Bodhi tree have completely enveloped this statue, such that the entire body has disappeared from view, or perhaps even disintegrated. It seems to be a sacred site to the Thais.



This is the only way you are allowed to pose before the Buddha. We were taking a picture, initially standing by the chains and were halted by the guard. He then took this photo for us.


And this is my favourite pic of all!
