The other day i was talking a walk through one of Bangkok's parks called Benjitiki Park and i came across this beautiful sculptured statues standing tall surrounded by bamboo trees , i just had to take a closer look.
As i got closer i could notice all the fine detail that had gone into making this beautiful coiling dragon illustrating the symbols of the Chinese culture.
You will notice if you have ever traveled around China you will see this dragon very frequently it represents there Oriental Culture they regard it as a symbol of power, strength, and good luck.
Dragons have existed throughout many cultures and in China they are looked at as a spiritual dragon and these powerful creatures they believe will guide you along as a spirit guide offering you guidance and support along your journeys of life.
This coiled dragon was donated by the Embassy of the Republic of China to the Kingdom of Thailand for the people as a friendship and good luck to the people of Thailand.
I also came across this other statue that was donated to Thailand by Singapore and the Singaporean people living in Thailand this is known as the Merlion or Sea Lion in Singapore the Merlion's body symbolizes Singapore's humble beginnings as a fishing village.
