This first shot was from inside the main temple that you can start to see to the right of the Golden Tomb in the next picture.

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 tombAnother 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.
