Temple by a river in Ratchaburi… a province 100KM away from Bangkok… *and a special note for today
A typical view of temples all over Thailand. Most of the temples, if not all, are located next to a river. I am not sure why they located them next to rivers. But come to think of it, I think it is because that in the old times the river was the main transportation route and that most houses are built by rivers. So each house would have a small boat to roll from one place to another, using the river as their main route. Each village will have their own temple and that every Sunday all the villagers will go to the temple to build their good merit. I think it is one of many reasons why they located a temple next to a river, just like why we have major cities next to rivers.
Another reason is because Water is “LIFE”!
*Today, marked 1 full year since I left the temple in Ayuthaya in July 13, 2008. One year has passed by, it is amazing how much I have achieved, completed, and accomplished! Flew around the world… from Bangkok back to Los Angeles, explore the west coast of USA from Tijuana, Mexico to Vancouver Canada. Then flew from Los Angeles to Malaga… studied at Les Roches Marbella, Spain! Explored SPAIN as much as I can afford to for 5 months. Then from Malaga back to Bangkok. A complete circle!
and also this year…
Found the LOVE of my LIFE!
