Do You Also Don’t See These Things In Buddhist Temples?
When you see pictures of the Wat Pho temple in Bangkok most of the time it’s the Golden Buddha or the majestic temple walls.
But if you look around a bit more, you’ll also find things like this - catching dust in an abandoned corner.
There was actually a group of Thai teenagers listening to American ganster rap and smoking in a secluded area inside the temple compound, but right next to the Golden Buddha.
I find it funny to see that just 10 meters from an area were tourists are almost constantly rubbing ellbows on each other because it’s so overcrowded, and then you walk a couple of steps and you find an area were nobody goes and a group of “outlaws” occupies the space inside a temple compound. The monks don’t seem to care, and the tourists don’t seem to notice.
