Something that I notice is Thais is very proud of their temples. Here are some of the pictures taken from Wat Arun - I think it is the name of this temple. The sand castle were built by the worshipper; as they came to worship in the temple, they will bring buckets of sand and build sand castle. This is ensure the temple has sufficient sand and have not need to buy more sands.
Apparently the wall of the temple was built using crack chinas?? According to the tour guide, when the Thais was doing business with China, they will ship all their goods to China but on their way back, their ship will be quite empty and to ensure there are enough weight on the ship (to avoid overturn by the wave), they brought back all the chinas from China. Some of them might not have survive the wave, hence some have cracked etc, instead of throwing it away, they have used the cracked chinas to build their temple. What an idea, they are quite good with recycle in that era!!!!
