Thai temple, southern style

According to the Thai calendar, the Thai New Year was to be celebrated from April 13th until April 15th! Songkran, the festival of water, is one of the most important Thai holidays. Celebrated across the country, it marks the beginning of both the new year and the raining season. This year, however, the Thai government cancelled the celebration of Songkran due to concerns and restrictions associated with the Coronavirus crisis. I felt like sharing some traditional architectural sights and associated memories from my "second home" during this difficult time. Pictured here is one of the most beautiful temples at Koh Samui. This temple is not a tourist hot spot and, for this reason, I won’t mention its name, to keep it a safe little secret place.
