After my last post about the Thai temple in Wimbledon, I found this picture taken last year from inside the temple. Normally you aren’t allowed to take any photos inside the temple, but for some reason they were encouraging people to take pictures that day.
The temple isn’t that large inside – not even enough space for 100 people – but it’s still spectacular to see.

The colours in this picture are gorgeous. Thailand certainly is a great place to visit.
These were actually in a Thai temple, but in London, UK.
Glad you liked it.
Great pictures showing a sight rarely seen by non worshippers !
Yes, always worth going inside, even if you’re not religious. There might just be something to see inside.
WOW! Just oh WOW! Thank you for all the photos of Thailand. Your blog is the next best thing to visiting there. But this photo of the spectacular temple – thank you so much for bringing us this beauty.
Now that I think about it, I’ve seen lots of photos of temple outsides (of all faiths) – don’t think I’ve ever seen the inside of a Thai temple.
Great picture.
Thanks.
Wow! That is amazing. The colors and the lights are captured beautifully. Great picture!
Thanks.
Beautiful…love it.
Thanks.
I love religious art and symbolism of all kinds. I’m particularly attracted to Tibetan Buddhist art. Southeast Asian Buddhist art especially depicting Nagas are one of my favorites too. Especially Naga statues…Old art the iconography speaks on so many levels. The symbolism represented in the murals and statues tells stories that the literal or conventional
mind can’t grasp.
It is always interesting to see the art and old symbolism from other cultures.
Yes, especially where I live where or symbolism is like stop sign, yield, do not enter…you know? Our older symbolism the ones that point out wisdom have been perverted and used for advertising. They still work but lead us to consume more rather than reflect on what is within.
Wow i love the painted mural behind the altar… the red ceiling is cool too.
All the walls are painted too. I couldn’t get all of it as I was blocking the entrance to take the photos.
Looks positively magical.

Very calming inside. Thanks.
Beautiful pictures Don.
Thanks Dom.
Hi Don these are truly wonderful, I had no idea that there was such lavish splendor inside these temples. Thanks, and thanks for liking my poetry.
You are very welcome, and yes much beauty to be found inside temples 🙂
The outside of the temples are beautiful, but when you go inside you can be awestruck by the beauty inside. I am always amazed by the workmanship in these places.
