always remember in mind that while paying respects to the statues in the temples and ruins, praying is usually free and up to the individual. but once you accept the incense sticks offered to you by the monks or old men sitting alone in the temples who take care of the temples and ruins, including clothing the statues and providing incense sticks, you are at a liability of paying a small amount of donation to the welfare and care of the statue. although not compulsory or life threatening, you may get a sour look or get chased after if you refuse to offer a donation after accepting the incense sticks.

…Back on the moto, stopping at a temple which involved climbing steep and narrow steps in order to reach the summit where a Thai was praying to a buddah statue dating back to the sixth century. He lit me some incense and i made a small donation which aids the constant work which takes place on the temples. The guy spilled some useful information and I found out that the temples… Temples by Moto. |
