Hm.......... I don't know. I somehow can't find the brochsure. Hm.... let me go scan some pictures and please don't laugh at me!!!!!!! LOL I looked wierd.

[NEWyear]

Nevermind. Right now I'm too lazy to scan the pictures right now and to look for the brochsure. I think it was in Chiang Mai. I think it's near that temple up in the mountain. Hmm..... you walk a lot wait that doesn't help LOL forget it. If you guys are really interested in seeing the pictures, you can just send an e-mail to me. If you have AIM that would be sooooo much easier on me.

Hm... Doi Suthep is that the temple? Uhhhh it's a garden that I"m talking about LOL.

Well, I was referring to the winter palace of His Majesty, which is a garden located on the mountain called Doi Suthep, where there is also a temple called Wat Doi Suthep... it can be quite confusing.
And yes, I recall that there is a long set of steps to reach the top. So that might be it after all...

Oh, I am sorry Anna, I didn't know you have to scan them in first. For some reason I thought you have them on files already. I really don't want you to bother with it, especially now... a sick girl needs all the rest she can have

On an unrelated note: I just noticed that you are only 14 posts away from graduating on the boards. Congratulations!

Did you think about your title yet?

Anna, are you talking about Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai? I vaguely recall that you wrote that you visited that place. Also, His Majesty has a winter residence there, so that's why I think...

Quote[/b] ]Oh I have some pictures from that scenery if you're interested.

Well, I don't know about him, but I am definitely interested!

I went to this little garden place [I don't remember the name] where the king stays for a while. Very beautiful!!! Oh I have some pictures from that scenery if you're interested. Well, I was wearing a shirt and capris with some thong shoes, but not considered as flip flops. They had a solid heel. My brother was wearing shorts and a tank top. Of course he couldn't enter the palace without having long pants on. The garden provided them for him to wear for the trip and it was quite funny. My brother and I still joke about them, but in a nice way!! I also saw some foreigners there too!!!!!! I think they were from North Carolina just above from me! I hope that helps too.

Sawadee khrap. Unlike in the west, the idea is to go out of your way to do what is most proper and respectful. Feet are a big deal and your feet should be covered. If you sit on the floor, sit on your feet and do not allow them to point at the monks, images, etc. Remember, a temple is just like a church in the west. Show some respect and you will get some in return. Choke dee khrap.

Shorts and sandals would be OK in most rural temples and in Bangkok too. However, "royal" temples are more strict. The picture above was taken at Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok. If you do not want to offend anyone and want to show proper respect to our religion then please dress politely.
