Nice. Go check out Ayutthaya if you are in Bangkok, only about 2 hours and totally worth it. There is a particularly nasty Hell Garden you can catch on the way back. You do know what a Hell Garden is right? Why don't you tell everyone what a Buddhist Hell Garden shows? I don't think even the Catholic Church would produce art that vile in the dark ages.
Enjoy your trip and remember if you don't see a price you are going to get charged forlong rates.
I did not know what a Hell Garden is so I looked it up. Seems like art to me and it seems that it is not to your liking. I don't find them to my liking either but I really do not see what is wrong with them.
Are you going to keep doing that, asking questions then assuming everyone knows what you're talking about? It's quite annoying and does nothing to further your point or the discussion. You've done it in several comments now. I'll share what you could have easily instead of those ridiculous questions and assumptions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wang_Saen_Suk
Gotcha. Started to make sense now. Alright so a hell garden is a series of painted statues graphically depicting the tortures of Buddhist hells. The one I suggested you visit including humans getting hot coals shoveled into their ass, tongues being ripped out, and people being boiled in a pot. It's cute and quaint, right next to a children's school if I remember correctly. Sorry been a while, haven't felt the need to see torture scenes.
