Wat Tham Sua
Kanchanaburi
This Multi-coloured Wat is towards West Thailand only a few hours driving from Bangkok and not to far from the Thai-Myanmar border. It is usually know for the Thai-Burma railway which was built during the Second World War and the Bridge over the River Kwae as portrayed in the movie. There are many other interesting things natural and historic in the area to visit like river tours, caves, waterfalls and dramatic mountain views.
Always with the stairs.
Finally near the top looking back down.

Covered with thousands of small reflective gold tiles.

Some of the smaller buildings on the main level containing images of Buddha and other religious treasures.
My reflection on the glass door, enabling one to see the Buddha inside.
Many bells and Gongs to ring around this building.
