The
Temple of the Dawn is inspiring at sunrise; it is even more
marvelous toward dusk. The temple's architecture is symmetrical,
with a square courtyard containing five Khmer-style prangs, the
central prang (282 ft) surrounded by its four attendant prangs
in the corners. All five are covered in mosaics of broken pieces
of Chinese porcelain.

Doi
Suthep
This Rose of the
North is the nation's second-largest city (pop. 200,000) and has
most of Bangkok's amenities (including excellent food and
accommodations). But it doesn't have the quicker pace, the
traffic jams and the pollution (although the big-city problems
are rapidly catching up). The city is located.

Loi
Krathong and Candle Festival
Loi Krathong is
traditionally performed on the full moon night of the twelfth
lunar month, which usually falls on some day in November. The
floating of a ‘Krathong' – a banana–leaf cup – is intended
to float away ill fortune as well as to express apologies to
Khongkha or Ganga, the River Goddess. Some believe that the ritual
is meant to worship the Buddha's footprint on the bank of the
Narmada River, while others say that it is to pay respect to Phra
Uppakhut, one of the Lord Buddha's great disciples.
