Putting money in the monk bowls. Each monk from that temple has a bowl for every day of the week.
Ringing the bell to let the Buddha know that you are here.
Two lions protect the entrance to the temple.
Sleeping Buddha. This Buddha is unique because it lays on its back opposed to laying on its side.
The is the door to the temple. It is carved out of wood and then filled with pearl.
Feeding the fish outside of the temple. There are so many fish here, but it is forbidden to fish them. It is believed that if you fish outside of a temple you will go to hell.
Fish!
Fish at the Market.
Eatting lunch in a barn at the market. Misty, me and one of the staff from Mercy. I'm sorry I'm terrible with remembering Thai names.
This was my lunch. I had rice, egg, vegetables and some kind of meat wrapped in a lotus leaf.
This bear is completely made out of noodles.
