Last weekend, when I visited my mom at my brother’s condominium, I walked to Wat Rat Burana. It’s approx. 2 kgs from the condominium, it’s a great exercise for me. ;D

When I arrived at Wat Rat Burana, it didn’t disappoint me and my tiredness disappeared immediately. This was the first time that I went there, so I said WOW at my first sight of the temple’s entrance door.

When entering the entrance door, my eyes were attracted by the two big sculptures of Vessavana; the green and the white one. They look sacred. There were many garlands from people who used to worship the sculptures.

There are two pagodas, built in Mon and Khmer architectural styles. There are also two viharas (prayer halls).

Before I left the temple, I saw a temple dog standing on the temple ground, so I made a video of him…
