A Private Visit with Ancient Buddhas at Wat That

· Reflection

There is a gathering here at Wat That of 10, 000 people. These Buddha are very ancient are brought out into the Public on rare occasions.

The Abbot was kind to honour me with a private visit before they are brought out for one day tomorrow. They are very beautiful and have a very strong spirit!

An elder in saffron monk's robes stands with palms pressed together before a gold-leafed seated Buddha and ornate shrine, surrounded by red walls with gold flame patterns.
