May 14th this year saw me celebrating my birthday with Buddha. Welcome to week 278 (5/19/2016) of Travel Photo Thursday. To be honest, I hadn’t realized that his birthday was actually May 14th.

Nancie — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 04:28:47 +0000

Wat Sri Suphan in Chiang Mai’s silver district boasts a beautiful silver Ubosot that is not to be missed! An Ubosot looks like a temple, but it has a unique function.
