If you look to the right hand side you will notice the spindled windows - and that intricate verandah is so detailed - it was eye-catching with all that gold.
This is a close up of the bright temple where you leave offerings for Buddha. You can see the sign on the left side of the altar.
As I was walking around, I saw this monk and I asked him politely (and respectfully) if I could take a photo. He graciously agreed.
I had read before leaving home, that when speaking to monks, a female must never touch a monk - in other words don't put your hand out to shake hands. It's some sort of no-no for a female to have contact with them. As with any religious person, be they monks, priests or nuns, it matters not which religion they belong to, you should always show them respect - this is my belief and what I do.
As I started to leave, I felt at peace and one with the world. There's a sort of serenity and calmness you have when you're in such a place as this.
It was time to go back to my driver and set off.
