Hidden in the rich agricultural region north of Chantaburi is the temple of Wat Khao Sukim, nteresting mostly because of its setting and function as a museum.
At first, I walked along the shore of the small lake, and discovered it was extremely rich in fish and turtles. From the far corner of the lake, I had a good view on the hill and the temple clinging to its slopes. I walked back, and started ascending the stairs alongside the cable car. As soon as I stepped inside the main hall, I was struck by the fact that it was completely packed. Not with people, but all kinds of articles. Large Buddha statues, models of tempels, Chinese warriors, but also tiny things. The quantity of items was truly amazing. A monk approached me, and although he did not speak English, he was guiding me through the complex before I knew it.
