Weekly Photo Challenge: Face

In response to the Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge:Face

Here are a few of the amazing Thai Buddha faces that i have photographed while exploring Thailand.
Buddhism in Thailand is largely of the Theravada school, which is followed by 93.6% of the population.

Cave Buddha
This Buddha statue is situated in a large cave on the grounds of the Tham Khao Yoi Cave Phetchaburi, Thailand. It was the place where King Rama VI practiced meditation while he was ordained. Today, it houses many Buddha images of several sizes, especially the big reclining Buddha, and the Buddha footprint enshrined in the cave.

  1. Lovely photography of Buddha statues all round. Love the variety and different colours all round, and the angles and perspectives as well. Such an important part of the culture in Thailand.

  2. I failed to visit Adrian Evans’s wonderland for a while, but here I am jaw-dropped and all staring at mesmerising Buddha faces. The head stuck in tree roots is amazing. Well done, you!
