Big Buddha of Phuket

This Past Friday I along with a few others went off to see the Big Buddha of Phuket. Along the journey we stopped off at a few Buddhist temples. It was an Amazing experience. The temples were beautifully decorated and displayed centuries of history and spiritualism. Then at the Big Buddha, I experienced something truly amazing and once in a life time…

It all happened when I noticed in a far corner a group of monks meditating in the basement of the Big Buddha. I began to sneak around for a picture and managed to snap a few before I was caught. But to my surprise the security guard asked if I would like to join them! Needless to say, I kicked off my sandals and joined in. I was there for nearly an hour. A truly amazing experience.

Here are a few images of my day…
