Wat Phu Tok

This temple's steps were built by a monk, who used this mountain to meditate 

He was getting older and did this to ease his climb to the top

Ajahn Juan died in a plane crash in 1980

Not yet....

let me get in position...

Okay, I'm ready!

There were several meditating areas

Not sure why there are so many together

A postman and his wife, from Nongkai

The view was breathtaking

This can't be safe...little railing!

What???? No railing!!!

I was half expecting a large boulder
to come chase me away from the
temple, ala Indiana Jones!

Wow!!! Right?

close by, neat set up

This guy is on display at level 5
Not sure why he is here, rumor
has it that he was a 20 year old
who died of cancer 

Level 5 Meditating area

Very large area, many people stop here
to pray

This is what you see at the top

A small meditating platform

You can see the 5th level meditating area upper left
