wat chedi luang

 
 the temple and it's big chedi was destroyed a few hundred years ago
  

  
 in the old temple of wat chedi luang

a place of old things

 
we were driven in a tuktuk first to some temples, and 
than got the pleads, to go to some very nice craft shops 
and have a look, pleas lets go, because I will get a good comission, just looking
the biggest gem shop in the world was the first stop
what a horror, next some other craft place, which was a Kashmiri carpet place.
That was it for us, and than next door we saw this place, no billboards
nothing but a place full of old and made old carvings potts furniture from North Thailand
and from Burma.
What a find, yummy
  
treasures
  
houses made from teak
  
the houses are filled with beauty
 
the car was not for sale

fear not

 
buddha greets every one with the mudra " Fear not"

what bliss
