taken in bkk. all taken in bkk.

This are the mystical being guarding outside the Emerald Buddha. We cannot take photos of the inside. But it's very pretty indeed with fine crafts and Buddhist pictures depicting tales of Lord Buddha.
Outside the walkway, (it is a huge place). we see people offering prayers with jossticks, flowers and offerings. Those stupas contains relic of Buddha. Hence they are sacred. I'm standing at a corner because I was tired, plus the crowd was coming in for Wesak prayers.
We wanted to learn more, hence our tour guide explained the story of good vs evil.

The architecture is indeed amazing. Like the story told, this place is really a gem. Good and evil both have sculptures as told in the stories. You must let your imagination run wild listening to the stories. The environment allows that to happen.
