Obviously, we went inside and it was just as gorgeous inside. No photography was allowed, obviously, but I'm sure you guys would have loved to see it. Every single wall was in red and gold with murals of Thai life painted everywhere. It was like a maze inside, with doorways and staircases leading to terraces and different entrances & courtyards. I actually got lost trying to find the way we had come in, to recover our shoes.

Here are a few views from the upper terraces





Notice the little round niches near the top containing statues? Wat Thang Sai was designed by HM the King's Royal Architect and was his last commission before he died, so it is a fairly new building.



Isn't that view breathtaking? It was such a beautiful, peaceful place.
