I couldn't visit all the temples at Chiang Mai to document it. But the different invasions seems to have only resulted in improvising than destruction maybe simply because they all followed one religion - Buddhism. <br /><br />Wait for my Cambodia journal, you can witness the transformation of Hindu temples to Buddhist monasteries.

Its not that there are no actions on the street happening unlike the West, Thailand has rows and rows of street food whichever town or city you go. But the cleanliness is maintained. The temples are taken care of.

What struck me is the way they have kept the old temples and buildings, compared to the shabby treatment we give to our monuments and temples. The difference lies in the fact that we Indians may say that we are proud to be Indians, but we forget to take care of our heritage...Balachandran Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174364716507089780noreply@blogger.com
