This is just a continuation of "random cool stuff I find when riding my bicycle aimlessly in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
I almost never have a particular destination in mind and have found some really interesting sights because of this. Chiang Mai is well-known for its high level of temples and even though you may find yourself in a neighborhood that is pretty far away from any heavily populated areas, you can occassionally encounter some really elaborate temples. This one is different from the others and since I know shockingly little about Buddhism, I can't really tell you what any of it means.
I'm riding my bike down a two lane road that is so small that when two cars encounter one-another they need to scoot over to the side in order to pass when I see this elaborate entrance to the grounds.
As usual, some level of dragon is on the gates and I'm a big fan of dragons, even when they aren't being magically shot out of the sky by Euron Greyjoy.
The interior was almost entirely painted red, and I didn't venture in further because I noticed a bunch of people in the distance all wearing black shirts. I don't know a lot about Buddhism, but since I have been to 2 of them, I know these people are there for a funeral and this would be really bad form for me to wander in during that. I stayed out of view, snapped some pictures, and then carried on.
I can't find this on any maps website out there but that is ok because I dont' recommend that anyone drive all the way out there for this place. I just think it is interesting that something this elaborate exists in a tiny little neighborhood that is mostly surrounded by rice paddies.
