Back from My Spiritual Trip Part II

Alright let's get going on my 2nd part of this three part photo blog series shall we ? Thanks my friends on Myspace for all the nice comments, however I guess on the blogger ecosystem most of the time I just got the admiring lurkers. So if you feel compel to send me a shout out please do on the comment section ! Anyway were we ? Oh from the first few days of my trip to Lampang, My next venture took me the neigbor province of Phayao. So I took the advice from the monks in Lampang to pay a visit to the Anayootipyharam Temple. From what I gathered from the visit at the monastery in Lampang, the head monk who ran the Abbey, was from this huge monastery residing in the Thailand national park reserve, stretching several hundred acres throughout the forest. It took me a good couple of days to finish the tour literally, however for a photography afficcidio like I am it was worth every single tiring steps. So without further delay let's get this photo blog going.

Trip to Anayootipyharam Temple in Phayao





This the front entrance to front part the temple, you have to take quite a few step up the abbey. However the entire monastery expand all over the national park, I really recommend a car for the entire tour or else you will need a few days of walking and you don't want that.






This happen to be a Hindu Statues, I don't know why would they have them around here.



This is a 30+feet Buddha statue I mean this thing is huge
