A Mural For Everyone At Wat Khun Inthapramun

Frequently Buddhist temple complexes have elaborate murals that depict various religious legends, tales, fables. At Wat Khun Inthapramun, they're busy painting a different kind of mural. Call it hyper realism for their own community.

Alright, taking inclusivity seriously. The mural is a combination of painted versions of photographs from the congregation. Fun stuff, nothing is edited away. Taking pics, selfie sticks, sunglasses, jeans, sure!

A little shout out to the folks building and restoring the complex.

Your dog, dorky camera gear, it's all good.

The cops get their space. And are seen doing their cop things with cell phones. It should look great in 50 years, a real time capsule.

Relaxing At Wat Khun Inthapramun

The nice thing about Thailand is that you're never far from a Buddha. City or country, there's always a wat nearby. The fun part is seeing which style of Buddha is hanging out.

A few hours north of Bangkok is Wat Khun Inthapramun. The complex is surrounded by fields and you'll find few visitors during the week.  Laid back.

Their Buddha gets it.

The impressive feature? The bright orange robe. We're talking a major piece of fabric. On a big Buddha, outside, in the tropics. The dry cleaning bill!

More orange, strung all over some trees. An old, brick stupa.

Buddha on Buddha. A smaller sculpture, also relaxing, in front of the big boy.

Temple details, various small icons and a colorful Naga, multi-headed snake.

The Buddha backside, in case you were wondering. You were. You're welcome.
