Once completely covered in plaster to conceal it from Thailand's enemies, the 15 feet tall, 5 tonne Golden Buddha Image is made of pure gold. In 1955, when it was moved from Yannawa District to its current location, the plaster was broken and it was discovered that the seven hundred year old statue

LOL!!! I love how you left a small note to me asking me if I did learn all the names.. Hehe!
Unfortunately no my dear. I only know certain places as those were the places that frequently visited them as a kid. My grandmother has loads of pictures of the Marble Temple.
But I can tell you a small trivia. If you've noticed, Thailand and Cambodia and also Indonesia, And Burma have similar looking cone-ish temples. Their called stupas and their history goes back to the indian emperor, Asoka years =)
I'm sure you remember the Malay word 'Candi' representing a relic or a monument - or 'Chandi' as we say it. :)
Chandi? I think i learned it as stupa as well. I remember memorizing Borobodur for Sejarah in SPM. It didnt come out and everyone was disappointed! Hahaha
I didnt know u used to go to Thailand a lot when u were a kid!
wow u went to BKK alone?!
Not as many that I can remember but Bangkok was the most frequent place that my family visited as our uncles and their family lived in the city. I was too small to remember but then I remember all the photos that my dad has taken of us and our extended family in Thailand. I was too small to remember my(2nd)cousins.
Anonymous yeah =)
