Temples and monkeys

Yesterday we saw some of the temples here, mostly Buddhist. They welcome visitors to come in as long as you take your shoes off.

They are incredibly ornate, over the top really for my taste, but I guess the degree of decorativeness is an indication of how important they are to the Buddhists.

These were taken at the temple of the reclining Buddha.the third one shows the feet of the reclining Buddha, which gives an indication of how enormous the figure is.

Also saw cute monkeys in the botanic gardens, as long as you don't have food or bags that look like they might have food, they will leave you alone.
