Two monks on their way to class. This compound also acts as a monk university.
The golden tomb where a part of Buddha's body actually rests.
One of the four gates that stand at North South West and East.
A tomb of an old monk framed by the pillars that make up a railing of the main Golden tomb
Another location I was told there are more than 1500 temples in the city of Chiang Mai. This one also serves as an Elementary school.
A shot of one of the original librarys...supposed to be around 400~500 years old.
Other buildings at the elementary school Temple. Apparently there are two things that every boy must face. One is being a monk for 1-2 years, and the other is Military service...often military service is served right after being a monk.
Below is an interior shot of the building on the right in the pic above.
A nice reflection shot caught a couple seconds before the monks left.
A group of young trainees going about their daily lives.
