Gold Temple
in Sangkhlaburi, Kanchanaburi

The newly painted heads of the two tigers guarding the entrance. This shot makes nice desktop wallpaper.

An old tower, with really steep steps, that commands a majestic view.

A majestic view of the Buddhas at the temple as commanded from "said" tower.

Another majestic view of the whole temple area.

Still from the tower, the old temple top and top of another temple building. They have both been moved
to the current gold temple, which has a Thai name, but it's too long and difficult to pronounce.

A slightly zoomed in view from the tower.

This old guy is Burmese and started chatting with us.
Though he was speaking Burmese and we were just nodding.

A shot of the resort....I mean other orphanage. This one is called Baan Unrak.

A closer view of the.....orphanage. This is NOT Baan Dada.
