things why I'm so in love with Thailand 🇹🇭 0. wat samfran 1. sanctuary of truth - a temple built entirely of wood without a metal nails 2. nong nooch tropical garden 3. wat rong khun - a buddhist temple, the complex of which includes the main temple with wall paintings, an art gallery, additional buildings and pavilions, a well-groomed area for walking. the white color of the temple symbolizes purity and enlightenment, and the mirror elements symbolize the wisdom of the Buddha. after crossing the bridge, the visitor finds himself at the "gate of heaven", guarded by two beings - personifying Death and Rahu (a supernatural being from the Tibetan buddhist tradition). 4. nana plaza 5. Buddhism and Buddhists 6. a traditional thai spirit house, or san phra phum, is designed to provide a home for guardian spirits and is often decorated with garlands to bring good fortune. these shrines are built to appease spirits displaced by construction and to protect the residents of a home or business. locals frequently leave offerings such as flowers, incense, candles, food, and drinks at these shrines to ensure good luck and appease the spirits. this is a common sight in thailand, found outside nearly every building, restaurant, and hotel to protect the land.
