This picture was taken with our teacher Dr. Sudarat Bantaokul. She teaches us Buddhism and Thai Wisdom. This educational tour was thus organized by her.
As we are studying Thai local wisdom, it is appropriate to learn and study the farming system, local wisdoms used by farmers in Phetchburi. While we were coming back from the tour, we got chance to visit Wat Mahathat. This picture is taken in that Wat Mahathat. In this temple some of the old Buddha statues of Sukhothai, Ayutthaya periods can be found.

This picture is taken near Grand Palace. This place not free from Sanam Luang which is know as the centre of Bangkok. It is near to Wat Po also. Grand palace is important because, it is the place that the present king Bhumipol occassionally comes and respect, and changes the robe or cloth of the Emerald Buddha. Emeral Buddha has long and good historical value. It is highly respected by many faithful Buddhists. Today, Grand palace is a tourist acttractive place for foreigners as well as people of Thailand.
