Thailand, the land of Buddhist divinities

Just like the great Vishnu, who travelled on the back of his “mount” – the mythical bird Garuda – European travellers can reach Thailand, the land of Buddhist divinities, on the wings of modern airliners.

Incorporated into Thai landscape are countless temple roofs covered with shimmering gold – they introduce  us to the mysteries of the local culture, in which religion plays a considerable role. Extensive wats (religious complexes) and bots (monastery buildings) captivate us with their splendour and exotic beauty. Proudly dominating over them are towers called chedi or prang. All architectural details display unusual skills of the artists.

Monumental columns, high stairs, carved window frames, doors and ceramic dragons inhabiting roofs let no one pass by indifferently and leave no doubt as to the fact that the place is devoted to a divinity.
