Largest Temple in Thailand - Temple in Nakhon Si Thammarat
Bringing you the largest temple in Thailand! Wat Phra Mahathat Vihan (Thai วัดพระมหาธาตุวรมหาวิหาร) is the most important temple of Nakhon Si Thammarat and southern Thailand. It was constructed at the time of the founding of the town, and contains a tooth relic of Buddha.
Shadow Puppet Museum in Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand
It’s one of the oldest and most interesting art forms in the Thai culture: nang thalung, or in English, shadow puppetry. The best place to learn about it is in southern Thailand in Nakhon Si Thammarat at the Suchart Subsin Shadow Puppet House.
The museum was founded by Suchart Subsin. He is one of Thailand’s most skillful puppet-makers and performers, and has even performed puppet shows for the King. The Shadow Puppet House is now run by the next generation of his family. It’s an award-winning attraction that offers people the chance to learn about the history of shadow puppets, see how they’re made and even take in a show.
In the museum, there are shadow puppets on display from over the century. These characters from Thai dramas have a variety of forms form angels to ghosts, demons and damsels in distress. Guests can also compare Thai shadow puppets with those from other cultures, such as India, Turkey and Indonesia. There is also a display of the musical instruments used in shadow puppet plays.
Watching a show here at Suchart Subsin’s house is a fantastic way to learn about Thai culture and the local art of storytelling. Although it is in Thai, it’s a comedic performance that transcends language. The puppets are colorful, funny and the way the master moves them is incredibly skillful. The live music adds another element to the performance. Be prepared to be amazed at the suspense and flow of the story!
Last but not least, watching the process of making shadow puppets completes the experience. The puppets are made from cowhide, and one puppet can take over a month to carve and paint. The preparation behind the performance is truly masterful. You can also buy your own puppet or artwork here as a take-home treasure.
The Shadow Puppet Museum is located in the city centre at 10/18 Si Thammarat Rd, Soi 3. It is only about a ten-minute walk from the temple Wat Phra Mahathat.

Civilized Tape 1 วัดพระมหาธาตุฯ จ.นครศรีธรรมราช Wat Phra Mahathat Nakhon Sri
Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan is a first-class royal temple with a total area of 39.7 acres and is located on the main sand bar of Nakorn Si Thammarat, the largest province in Southern, Thailand.
Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan, as known as Wat Phra That, is the great noble temple for people and Buddhists in Nakorn Si Thammarat. Moreover, the main stupa of the temple, called Phra Borommathat Chedi, is the well-known symbol of Nakorn Si Thammarat province since it is where the Buddha’s Relics are kept, and thereby it becomes a sacred place for the Buddhists. Nowadays, the Department of Fine Arts has announced the registration of Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan as an archaeological site. It is regarded as one of the most important sacred places in the south of Thailand.
Phra Borommathat Chedi, regarded as the most important part of the temple, is the gigantic-bell-shaped stupa which the top of the stupa is entirely covered with pure gold. The present stupa is architecture in Lanna style. It is believed that the Phra That are made of the gold ornaments and many valuable things including the tip of the stupa. These valuable things were brought by the Buddhists to the Lord Buddha so they can go to nirvana. The fame and sacredness of Phra Borommathat Chedi has attracted people from all direction to pay homage and to wish for blessing. Another traditional ceremony which is done together with worshipping is to carry the religious cloth to wrap around the stupa. According to legend, people who carry the cloth to the stupa will have their wishes fulfilled. Therefore, Hae Pha Khuen That Festival is regarded as a great annual merit-making festival that is held twice a year during Makha Bucha Day and Visakha Bucha Day.
The other miracle of Phra Borommathat Chedi is that it has no shadow. No matter which directions the sunlight reflects, it never casts the shadow on the floor. There is still no answer for this incredible phenomenon, making the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) ranks the amazing stupa as one of the Unseen Thailand site.
Apart from Phra Borommathat Chedi, a number of small stupas surrounded also seem strange for visitors. These 149 stupas, called Chedi Boriwan are continuously built by the descendants in order to contain the relics of their dead family members. They wish their family members will reborn as Buddhists in the next lives.
Moreover, there is a museum located inside Wat Phra That Mahavorawihan which exhibit valuable and ancient things. As the sacred site, people who visited the sacred place have performed their merit-making by donating their valuable objects, called Khuen That, to the stupa and to the temple which symbolizes the Buddha, the Sangha and the Dhamma. Consequently, the museum of the temple was built in 1937 to serve and display the collections. The museum opens every day for the visitors.

Giant Dragon Temple at Wat Samphran, Nakhon Pathom Thailand
Nakhon Pathom must see place
This is a Nakhon Pathom must see place. 1 of the biggest stupas in the world, Phra Pathommachedi or Phra Pathom Chedi, พระปฐมเจดีย์, is a simply stunning stupa located right in the center of the city. A very royal place in town, indeed. If you're traveling in the city, visiting the stupa as well as those beautiful temples around is mandatory. It really is majestic. Even though Nakhon Pathom has lots of other amazing places to see, Phra Pathom Chedi should be on the top of your list, trust me on this one.

ee kai vlog 1 去泰国曼谷玩啦
好好玩哦
曼谷春節 靈驗名廟遊記
泰國觀光產業發展非常蓬勃，每年總有許多歐美人士到曼谷旅行，對於她們來說大皇宮、玉佛寺代表著泰文化的象徵，所以不論何時總能見到人潮前往。
玉佛寺廟建於1784年，就成為泰國王族供奉玉佛和舉行宗教儀式的重要場所，每逢換季時分，每任泰國國王都需親自為玉佛像更衣，以祈求國泰民安；之後泰國內閣只要進行更迭，新任總理也必須偕同全體閣員在玉佛寺聖殿向國王宣誓就職。這樣你就能理解這不僅是泰國人心中的宗教信仰代表，還是重要的政經象徵。
地理位置來看玉佛寺位於大皇宮的東北角，面積約佔整體大皇宮的1/4，是最為著名的佛寺與泰國三大國寶之一。
曼谷城隍廟City Pillar Shrine中的鎮國神柱建立於公元1782年4月21日拉瑪一世皇遷都曼谷之時。建立國柱神廟的思想原自印度婆羅門教意思是該民族定居於此，永不遷徒之意。
國柱是泰人常拜的神靈之一，想考試成功也會去求。甚至遇上解決不到的事也求拜國柱。而想考入泰國政府部門工作的也會到來相求，據說甚為靈驗，有求必應，能解你困憂。
這座寺廟名是由國王
為「普頌皇恩寺」，建成於2008年，為紀念前九世王登基50周年以及80歲生日，也被稱為龍蓮寺分寺（龍蓮寺在曼谷中國城）。
龍蓮寺的開山祖師續行法師來自中國的廣東省潮州，少年時受戒為僧，研究佛經，在清朝同治元年（1862年）移民到暹羅宣傳佛教。當時的暹羅君主拉瑪五世被其熱誠感動，願意捐獻土地來建設此佛寺，並封他為「帕亞贊真三味智越」的僧爵，授予相當於暹羅僧王的地位。
可在於曼谷龍蓮寺或此分寺辦理2019年豬蛇猴虎化太歲 平安健康 財源滾滾化解犯太歲
今天是春節年初二夜市、來泰國旅遊的朋友，曼谷耀華力路的「唐人街」絕對是一處最佳的選擇！曼谷唐人街(China Town)，在泰國首都曼谷市區西部，其規模及繁華程度，在東南亞各地的唐人街中，堪稱魁首。
它是老曼谷的街區之一，已有近200年歷史。這裏的房屋大都比較古舊，但商業卻異常繁榮，經營者幾乎全是華人、華僑。濃郁的潮汕風情，是曼谷唐人街最大的特色，潮洲話在這裏通行無阻。這就是我眼前的唐人街，耀華力唐人街也沒必要白天去，晚上才會熱鬧。，
