Phuket Thailand! Amazing Temples

On May 01,2012, as part of my Asian Cruise,i had a glimpse of Thailand!Wow, I am amazed of this beautiful country.Unique culture and flavorful Thai Cuisine.But what attracts me most is the magnificent temples found in Thailand!

I don't have a cameraman so i did the taping alone.By the way,you can catch my TV segment on ABS-CBN's Morning TV Show Magandang Umaga South Central Mindanao,6:15 AM  shown in Southern Mindanao Philippines. If you're living abroad,still you can view our show tru this website : http://tfcnow.abs-cbn.com/index_magandangumagasocsksargen.aspx

Saan ka man sa Thailand, pareho lahat ng design ng temple nila.

 There are a total of 40,717 Buddhist temples (Thai: Wat) in Thailand as of 31 December 2004, of which 33,902 are in current use, according to the Office of National Buddhism.^[1] Of the 33,902 active temples, 31,890 are of the Maha Nikaya and 1,987 are of the Dhammayuttika Nikaya orders of the Theravada school, while 12 are of the Chinese Nikaya and 13 are of the Anam Nikaya orders of the Mahayana school. Two hundred and seventy-two temples, 217 of the Maha Nikaya order and 55 of the Dhammayut order, hold the status of royal temple. Royal wisungkhamasima (Pali: visuṃ gāmasīmā), official recognition of a temple's legitimacy, has been granted to 20,281 temples.

Wow,nakakamangha!Thailand's temples serve as tourist spot or attraction.The architecture of a Wat has seen many changes in Thailand in the course of history. Although there are many differences in lay-out and style, they all adhere to the same principals.A Thai temple, with few exceptions, consists of two parts: The Phuttha-wat and the Sangha-wat.

 Visit Thailand and Be Amazed!
