Dueling Temples

Directly across the street from Wat Chayamangkalarm sits the Burmese temple called Dharmmikarama Temple. Got the spellings down? Good. Alas, no 33 meter figures, but more than a few pleasant features. Far East temples don't skimp on fanciful imagery with an icing of bright colors to wrap up the effect.

The temple from the street and the star attraction inside.



A couple of figures not far removed from a Disney film or theme park. A regal white elephant, one of a pair of pachyderms marking the entrance.
