... Beautiful panoramic view of an iconic temple... located in a lovely area on the riverbank, surrounded by gardens and parks... enshrined in a new gigantic hall is one of the most sacred Budha figures for Thai people, "Luang Pho Sothon"... who is believed to bring wellness and health to devotees... worshipers from all walks of life come to pay respect to this most reputed image by pasting gold leaves on the image... there are over 40,000 Buddhist temples in Thailand.... over 90% of the Kingdom’s population are Buddhists, which means every part of society (in some way) is linked to religion... Thanks Jobbo! [▪‿▪]
