Kwai Temple 208.jpg (39993 bytes) The temples here are modern and possibly the best reason to visit them is the view over the surrounding countryside from the top of   the pagoda.
The more affluent Chinese community  have completed their temple and pagoda the     Thai buildings are  still under construction..  This massive mosaic Buddha was covered in scaffolding at the time of our visit.  A large conveyor belt carries donations to the alms bowl in the Buddha's lap.

Kwai Temple 209.jpg (39799 bytes) Wat Tham Mongkon Thong.

Another temple complex on the Mai Klong River.  These steps lead to a series of caves which contain images of the Buddha.  Still under construction in 1992, the balustrades with rebar sticking through them await the customary Nagas.  The ascent  continues through a dragons mouth.
A monk makes his way through the dragons body to reach the temple within a cave. Kwai Temple 210.jpg (39756 bytes)
