Sakon Nakhon

   Wat Pra Tat face lift continues












Outside the lakeside temple entrance.
Fair coming or gone?

Front view Superb!! Rear view Why?





Remnants of time gone by. Renovations pending?



In recent years the temple has been spending some big bucks on renovations.
The inner temple ground is getting new non slip tiles, fresh coats of paint, immaculate gardens.  It's all done with donations.




They're obviously not done yet




Really wish they would have an English translation




Donations, as explained to me.
You purchase a large wax coin and write your name on it. 
The wax is melted and made into wax castles.  Thus you become part of the castle
