A temple of a different color


This is kind of a special temple my friends and I discovered in the province of Mae Sot this past weekend. Its special because its blue and green. This is very unique as most of the temples here are almost completly gold with lots of adornments. This one was more accented in gold and mainly blue and green.






This is a golden buddha that had a very large real ruby in the center of its head.
















This is one example of one of the many very large buddhas in Thailand. If it gives you any perspective. I am about as tall as one of the fingers.









When we arrived at this temple, we were just going to take a quick look. But this monk seemed very excited to see us and gave us the grand tour of the place.
