If it ain’t kitschy, it ain’t holy!

The Thais must love their gold on temples. But, it’s not just that. I think they love their temples to be gaudy, even if no gold is used. They managed to make a completely white temple extravagant by adding mirror work to it and using a loud architecture.

I contemplated on the carvings in their temples - the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, a man sucking the breast of a woman, star war planes destroying cities next to the Buddha. I told myself it has probably got something to do with the basic human desires… but I’m not sure. I found it a bit weird.
