Tours to Glittering Buddhist Temples
Thailand has complete religious freedom but around 95% of all Thai people are Buddhist. It’s not surprising then that there are temples everywhere. Thai people call them ‘Wat’ and the title always comes first, so The Temple of the Emerald Buddha becomes Wat Phra Kaeo. Take your shoes off first.
