Hello guys, I’m your Follow Jack
00:07.0
00:09.8
In this video, we'll see about the world's first wooden temple
00:09.9
00:14.7
This one is carved by women. watch this video. It’ll be interesting for you
00:14.8
00:19.6
I'm witnessing this wood carvings are done all by women for the first time
00:19.7
00:24.5
It's so unique and different
00:24.6
00:29.4
They'll different pieces and they interlocked them to look as a whole
00:29.5
00:33.4
You can notice the lining gap at a very close distance
00:33.5
00:38.3
They're doing this since 1981
00:38.4
00:42.4
because it takes time and it's a big deal
00:42.5
00:47.3
The height of the temple is 345 Ft and it may sound small but won't be when you witness in person
00:47.4
00:52.2
This place has the best sculptures I have ever seen
00:52.3
00:57.1
I can feel the hardships in this craftsmanship
00:57.2
01:02.0
I can appreciate them for their dedication
01:02.1
01:06.9
This will make Thailand people and their future generation proud
01:26.4
01:30.9
This is the Ticket counter for the Sanctuary of truth
01:31.0
01:35.8
They mentioned the timing well and 9-10 is the first slot
01:35.9
01:40.7
admission is 500 baht for adult and 300 for children
01:40.8
01:45.6
It will be open from 9.10 AM to 5 PM
01:45.7
01:50.5
Each schedule has 30-35 minutes gap. Like after the 9.10 slot the next one will be at 9.40
01:50.6
01:55.4
next one will be 10.30 and so on
01:55.5
02:00.3
If you plan to visit here, make your visit time accordingly
02:00.4
02:05.2
It'll be so useful and they're so friendly as well
02:05.3
02:10.1
if you have 30 minutes wait period for next schedule, they have this big waiting area
02:10.2
02:15.0
People visit via travel agency and online booking
02:15.1
02:19.9
will collect their ticket and I'll suggest you to get tickets from online
02:20.0
02:24.8
It will be more cheaper than counter
02:24.9
02:29.7
you can get the 500 Baht ticket at 250-300 baht
02:29.8
02:34.6
So I'll suggest this online booking one day prior of your visit
02:34.7
02:39.5
We'll buy the ticket and enter inside
02:39.6
02:44.4
This place has this small brochure. We're now at this place
02:44.5
02:49.3
We have this view point, which is 100-150 metres from here
02:49.4
02:54.2
I noticed one thing in up there
02:54.3
02:59.1
They have a board in English, Chinese, Korean and Arabic
02:59.2
03:04.0
Then I realised they were all language specific guides, and each has a separate time slots
03:04.1
03:08.9
So, I have picked English guide with a different timing
03:09.0
03:13.8
They're providing linguistic guides because
03:13.9
03:18.7
some places will have subtitles only and we have to appreciate their efforts in language specific guides
03:18.8
03:23.6
Shooting videos are prohibited inside. So I’ll show as much as I can
03:23.7
03:28.5
I'll try, but I can't use the drone. they're strict in their policies
03:28.6
03:33.4
They also have guards at every point so we need to be careful
03:33.5
03:38.3
I need to tell more about this wooden temple
03:38.4
03:43.2
We have seen temple built on stones, carved from stones
03:43.3
03:48.1
This is the worlds only biggest wooden temple
03:48.2
03:53.0
This is not built by a King or government
03:53.1
03:57.9
This was built by a businessman and it's started from 1981
03:58.0
04:02.8
The construction work is still going on as they hired many wood carvers
04:02.9
04:07.7
They're focusing on attention to detail
04:07.8
04:12.6
They're not using a single nail to join wood blocks
04:12.7
04:16.4
They're using interlock method and
04:16.5
04:21.3
Oline pics looked majestic and we have seen granite temples in Vellore
04:21.4
04:26.2
Their details are great, I guess it will be nice to see that up close
04:28.3
04:31.1
Looks like Goats from our locale
04:31.2
04:36.0
But if they were in our place, it should have been hanged in a meat shop right now!
04:37.2
04:43.4
They have also packages for horse riding
04:43.5
04:48.3
and some other activities. They mentioned all in detail outside
04:48.4
04:53.2
if you're visiting as a group via agents it may be included. But the cost will be double as well
04:53.3
04:58.1
like it may cost 1000-1500 baht
04:58.2
05:03.0
Hello! -Hellow!
05:03.1
05:07.9
It looks so healthy and fat
05:08.0
05:12.8
This place looks calm and look at those play areas
05:12.9
05:17.7
You can also sit and play here if you get bored
05:17.8
05:22.6
This sit out area is so calm and peaceful
05:22.7
05:27.5
They also prohibit us from getting our own water
05:27.6
05:32.4
If you bring any bottles, There is a lady over there
05:32.5
05:37.3
She will confiscate that from you and I hid mine in my bag
05:37.4
05:42.2
So without water is hard as we'll walk for a long distance
05:42.3
05:47.1
So keep a small bottle with yourself without making it look so obvious
05:47.2
05:52.0
So this viewpoint looks so nice
05:52.1
05:56.9
I'm here at this place and can you see that cafe like place
05:57.0
05:59.7
can you see that tower-like structure, it looks majestic
06:04.1
06:08.9
Just look over there and not my face! they're building that to look so majestic
06:09.0
06:13.8
I can tell they're indeed in this process since 1981 as you can see
06:13.9
06:18.7
That roof tiles looks odd and it may or may not be wood
06:18.8
06:23.6
[BACKGROUND NOISE][SPEAKER NOISE][BACKGROUND NOISE]
06:23.7
06:28.5
As we see in Chinese movies, it's looking like that fort in the clouds/dreamland
06:28.6
06:33.4
[BACKGROUND NOISE] It's so beautiful!
06:33.5
06:38.3
[BACKGROUND NOISE] You must see this sanctuary of truth, wooden temple
06:38.4
06:43.2
We're now sitting at a visitor's waiting spot
06:43.3
06:48.1
our timing is 1.10 in the noon
06:48.2
06:53.0
Each language guide has their own timing
06:53.1
06:57.9
It's behind this board and we need to walk down for 200 metres
06:58.0
07:02.8
There are many procedures for the visitors, mainly using mobile phone is prohibited
07:02.9
07:07.7
I'll try to get video for you guys
07:07.8
07:12.6
Use this video as a guideline reference and pick tickets from online
07:12.7
07:17.5
It will be cheap and you'll get your preferred language guide
07:17.6
07:22.4
They'll give this helmet, because it's still under construction
07:22.5
07:27.3
so safety helmet is to prevent any accidental fall of materials
07:27.4
07:32.2
They also have dress code so avoid shorts and sleeveless kind of dress
07:32.3
07:37.1
Dress needs to cover your body fully
07:37.2
07:42.0
If you accidentally come in such dresses, you can buy clothes to cover that up here
07:42.1
07:46.9
I'm not sure if they're renting or selling
07:47.0
07:51.0
But it's available so you can check for yourself
07:51.1
07:55.9
[BACKGROUND NOISE] we need to go that way and
07:56.0
08:00.8
[BACKGROUND NOISE]That lady is talking about something! We're waiting for the guide
08:00.9
08:05.7
[BACKGROUND NOISE] let's see
08:05.8
08:10.6
So we started to climb down after instructions
08:10.7
08:15.5
It's like having a jungle safari
08:15.6
08:20.4
for each spot someone will takeover
08:20.5
08:25.3
and provide instructions to guide us
08:25.4
08:30.2
we'll put helmet here and guess we need to stop recording but will use secretively
08:30.3
08:35.1
Don't think it has any buckle, the mechanism is right here
08:35.2
08:40.0
He is explaining carefully and he is taking us to each spot
08:40.1
08:44.9
Each spot has unique story and I'll explain that, you can also take video or photos
08:45.0
08:48.5
but it's only prohibited inside the temple
08:48.6
08:53.4
I can hear him hardly, as there are around 50 people in this group
08:53.5
08:58.3
Look it's like sheep herd and I'm a part of it!
08:58.4
09:03.2
the concept is simple, motto of this temple is everyone need to live in unity and harmony
09:04.5
09:10.9
The statues carved is giving a foundation for that
09:11.0
09:15.8
We will have this river crossing as the first stage
09:15.9
09:18.3
It has wooden bridge
09:18.4
09:23.2
I'm feeling like going on construction labour work
09:23.3
09:32.4
Maybe they're asking for our help! [Meme]
09:32.5
09:37.3
they're still building and they're carving each and every structures
09:37.4
09:42.2
as you can see, ladies are
09:42.3
09:47.1
carving the sculptures and on both sides you can see that
09:47.2
09:52.0
I noticed that all are ladies only and
09:52.1
09:56.0
I'm not sure about the manpower yields
10:08.1
10:12.9
They built one small temple here
10:13.0
10:17.8
it looks like this only after construction
10:17.9
10:22.7
as you can see it
10:22.8
10:27.6
It's a miniature look of foundational and completed structure
10:27.7
10:32.5
I'm seeing wood carving done all by women
10:32.6
10:35.6
It's so different for me
10:39.0
10:42.8
Amazing, isn’t it?
10:42.9
10:47.7
I'm not enjoying the guided tour
10:47.8
10:52.6
Each carving has so much of details and specially made by ladies
10:52.7
10:57.5
so they will work so patiently
10:57.6
11:02.4
It looks like carved on stones but they all wood only
11:02.5
11:07.3
That guy is explaining how
11:07.4
11:12.2
They're jointing them without any nails or paste
11:12.3
11:17.1
It's done based on interlocking mechanism
11:17.2
11:22.0
I know about that, I hope the same for you
11:22.1
11:26.9
They can also easily dismantle in the future if they wish to do
11:27.0
11:31.8
That roof tiles only looking pale due to rain and heat
11:31.9
11:36.7
but inside looks so fresh
11:36.8
11:41.6
Without completing also it looks so beautiful and I only wonder
11:41.7
11:44.8
how it looks after completion and counting the years in mind
11:44.9
11:49.7
They have this surprise package on this side, look at the detailing
11:49.8
11:53.4
It's mindblowing!
11:53.5
11:58.3
this place is so worth for the visit in Thailand
11:58.4
12:03.2
It's not exaggerated this much in online unlike me
12:03.3
12:08.1
But I'm just telling the truth, it's so pleasing for the eyes
12:08.2
12:13.0
It's a great work and
12:13.1
12:17.9
I must appreciate the architects and workers involved in this project
12:18.0
12:22.8
This shows the cultural heritage of Thailand
12:22.9
12:27.7
Now you know why they told to wear helmet
12:27.8
12:32.6
Work is still on progress inside and look at each sculptures
12:32.7
12:37.5
You can see this linings, it indicates the separation of pieces
12:37.6
12:42.4
They look as a whole unless you give a closer look
12:42.5
12:47.3
It requires big patience and time
12:47.4
12:52.2
I guess that’s why it took so long for them from 1981
12:52.3
12:57.1
I like that center part even more
12:57.2
13:02.0
It looks like a center of the universe with that great lighting
13:02.1
13:06.9
This yellow light enhances the light from the sun
13:07.0
13:11.8
It's like center of the universe and I'm surrounded by 4 people
13:11.9
13:16.7
God of water, fire, wind and earth. you know Shiva is the God of fire
13:16.8
13:21.6
This Temple has Hindu and Buddhist heritage
13:21.7
13:26.5
Some workers are taking small break over there
13:26.6
13:31.4
They seems so tired after long hours of work
13:31.5
13:37.6
I just showed 25% of the temple, It has more to explore [meme]
13:37.7
13:41.6
- How do you feel about the content after following the guide tour?
13:41.7
13:44.7
It's good actually, - he is explaining everything beautifully
13:44.8
13:49.6
We're stuck in the place because it's so beautiful and we want to take some pictures
13:49.7
13:53.8
We want to show them to our friends
13:53.9
13:58.7
-How do you apply the virtues from the museum in your daily life
13:58.8
14:03.6
-Respect, maintaining peace, calmness
14:03.7
14:07.3
- Which part of the museum you like the most?
14:07.4
14:12.2
All parts because of the carvings and the way it looks
14:12.3
14:17.1
So majestic and nice -Okay, thank you so much. Have a nice day! You too!
14:17.2
14:22.0
I showed the sculptures so far
14:22.1
14:26.9
they have this corridor like place and they have a small sit out place here
14:27.0
14:31.8
They have this place so you can enjoy the winds and take a small rest
14:31.9
14:36.7
I just now noticed they have Hanuman here
14:36.8
14:41.6
He is flying in front of a chariot
14:41.7
14:46.5
I can also see Yazhi and
14:46.6
14:51.4
I'm not sure what is that big sculpture from behind, but hanuman is there
14:51.5
14:56.3
Hanuman looks so majestic and
14:56.4
15:01.2
Workers are going here and there for putting varnish and we're not allowed
15:01.3
15:06.1
So follow these safety measures
15:06.2
15:11.0
Also take care of your infants and children by keeping them close to you
15:11.1
15:15.9
Chances of falling from here is so high for you and your child
15:16.0
15:16.9
So be safe!
15:17.0
15:21.8
This sculpture has a meaning that
15:21.9
15:26.7
Our parents are pampering and nurturing us
15:26.8
15:31.6
And they set our career path and then we seek our own path in our life
15:31.7
15:36.5
We repeat that cycle after marrying and making children
15:36.6
15:41.4
So we need to chase that path without comparing ourself to others
15:41.5
15:46.3
We need to focus on your life
15:46.4
15:51.2
They both telling this moral via this concept
15:51.3
15:56.1
I guess they faced many things in their life
15:56.2
16:01.0
Because of that they made this concept in this temple
16:01.1
16:05.9
I want to tell the same, we have a life of our own
16:06.0
16:10.8
you may face many things in your love , career and life
16:10.9
16:15.7
it's mixed emotion containing happiness and sadness
16:15.8
16:20.6
so you need to keep your mind strong
16:20.7
16:25.5
don't keep yourself down
16:25.6
16:30.4
There are many things in life to explore
16:30.5
16:35.3
Many nice people are there and in my life path
16:35.4
16:40.2
I want to travel more and share more with you
16:40.3
