Wat Chaimongkron Royal Monastery

The closest temple to the condo I am staying at, Wat Chaimongkron is famous for being hated by local expats. Those who purchased a unit at Centre Condo overlooking the monastery were not amused when they opened their windows of a morning only to have the monks incinerate a body below. Maybe they should have checked with the real estate agent first. Apparently it isn't done anymore but it is all part of the Buddhist tradition.

What follows are a few shots of this temple and area as well as monks on their way to a meal. Inside the temple, a monk is giving the faithful a blessing for good luck.
