Devotional Architecture the Second
Wat Phra Singh, one of the major examples of Lanna influence over architecture in this region, from the lions at the gate, to the fine work on the temple itself from the roof to the floor. Wat Phra Singh really is one of the most beautiful Wat I have ever seen.
A note on Lanna – former kingdom in this area that had expanded into/from the Burma region and carried with it its own style, which was adapted into the buildings found in this part of Thailand, and still is even after centuries of Thai rule. Giving the north of the country, a very different, yet familiar feel to it.
Monks walking, monks riding pillion, monks lounging, monks at prayer. Monks everywhere
