Up-country - Temples
Most of Thailand's 32,000+ Buddhist temples are outside Bangkok. Some are spectacular...others are modest...all are unique and certainly worth visiting.
I won't show all these temples, but will try to present an interesting cross-section of those I have visited.

Wat Huppa SawanA forest temple, south of Bangkok, near Cha Am. The main temple buildings are on the flat land below a towering limestone outcrop.
One time, when we were visiting, there was a major ceremony involving the pouring of a new Buddha icon for the Ubosot that is planned for the future. On another occasion, two bus-loads of Singaporeans were making their annual pilgrimage to this temple which they were patronising. |

Wat BurapharamJanuary 2012...The main temple in the Provincial capital of Surin, in Isaan. The Ubosot is open to the public, and offers an excellent opportunity to see what it is like inside this building.
