What about the floating nun attraction in Kanchanaburi , has it changed much ? Apart from the habikini she wears and the viscosity of the water she floats in there was not much to see or do but climb up to the monks secret hill top cave temple .There were snakes all about.
If you want a truly plastic budhist experience head to Hong Kong's big Buddha , awful shame what they have done to the place.

Sun Hei Fai Lo !

Hope yer keeping well.

I detest the tacky, plastic, silly tourist attractions that the Asians love so much. Did not know what I was doing when I first came to Asia and found myself in the middle of a few of them.
Have since worked it out - if it's somewhere my wife and her friends love going to, I am probably better off staying at home and exercising.

Not five minutes ago she "suggested" we go to the Hot Springs tomorrow, warning signs immediately sprung up and I quickly came up with an excuse not to go (hack bs bs cough)

Visited the White Temple not long after it was opened to the public, very impressive but tacky all the same. Surprised they did not paint it gold with spray cans.
Is the toilet block still off limits to Chinese tourists ?

I agree.....cheap with a few bright touches...If he built that as a way to gain merit I am not sure that will work in this case.
On the other hand the Black temple while less appealing is a better expression of a person's view and I hope the artist who made that will get his rewards in his next life.

Mick just reminded me I need to go pray
