On our way to Chang Chong where we spent our last night in Thailand we visited Chiang Ria. There is a temple there that is unlike any other, and I have seen a lot of temples in the past few weeks. The temple was designed by an artist to bring together western and Buddhist culture. The outside is an immaculate white, while the inside has modern pictures. The murals had pictures of Superman, George W bush, Osama Benlandin, Michael Jackson and even the Hulk. Sorry you are not allowed to take pictures inside so you will have to use your imagination.
The depiction of hell
This bridge is said to be from hell to heaven and you can only go over the bridge one way. Hense you are going from hell to heaven..
This is the bathroom outside the temple. It is said to be the best public bathroom in the world. It has slippers outside each stall for you to put on when you go in. It also had toliet paper which is unheard of in Asia.
Our last stop in Thailand was Chang Kong. Nothing too exciting to report here however I did ride the most ridiculous bike in the world and had to wait for 30 mins after everyone was done eating for my fried noodles. This may not seem like a big deal but I had not eaten lunch due to feeling sick and I was starving.
