Thaton is a village in Northern Thailand near the Burma border. On top of some of the village's rolling hills, stands the magnificent Wat Thaton. It is a very unique looking temple, both on the inside and outside. The beautiful light colors, the many amazing Buddha images from all over the world, the beautiful Naga ramp/ staircase, the glass indoor chedi , and the amazing views, are just among the things that make Wat Thaton well worth "another temple stop". It is my understanding that Wat Thaton is also a meditation center, I imagine it makes a great one. Here are a few of the photos we've taken of the gorgeous Wat Thaton.

Hi Candi, wonderful photos! I just love all the colors and architecture styles of the temples you visited. So unique and beautiful. The colorful dragon inside looks really cool.
Thanks so much for continuing to share your photos and experiences of what you saw during your trip to Thailand. Have a great day today!

Another "wow" temple! Love the colors of this one. Funny to see that cute bunny rabbit right behind the fierce dragon.

Wow, that is gorgeous!! I really love the colours in the mural with the pond and the lilies especially.
I'll be away (probably without internet access) until the end of the month so...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! Have a wonderful day tomorrow, how nice when these occasions fall on a Friday, it's much more fun going out to celebrate when the weekend comes next! :)

Candi, that really is spectacular. Thanks to you, I'm learning so much about Thailand that I'm beginning to think I should visit there myself!

I know I keep saying this but WOW, another amazing temple. How lucky to be able so see all of these great places. I can see why you liked the Northern Thailand area better than Bangkok. Great photos!
