00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:04,100


2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,000
Hi Guys! Greetings! I'm your Follow Jack

3
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:12,400
And I hope everything is going well for everyone

4
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:16,200
In our Thailand series our third spot will 
be a beautiful temple

5
00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:21,100
[Comedy clip]

6
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:26,000
It's behind me, The big Buddha temple

7
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:30,900
It can't be observed from here, if we go 
inside we can see it clearly

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,800
In Thailand, specifically Pattaya

9
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:40,700
This is a must-see spot, can you see it now?

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,600
We're right now standing near parking area

11
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:50,500
If you planned your tour via agencies

12
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,400
The one day plan will cover this temple, 
Pattaya beach, Pattaya nightlife, and the 
sanctuary of truth

13
00:00:55,500 --> 00:01:00,300
That's a wooden temple where we'll go next

14
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,200
so these will be covered in the one day trip 
for Pattaya, if you book a package plan

15
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:08,200
It will be mostly one day trip only

16
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:13,100
this is a beautiful and peaceful temple and 
the speciality here is

17
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,000
They carved this Buddha from a single stone

18
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:22,900
That too is from a Jade stone, which is a 
precious mineral

19
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,800
They gold-plated the statue after that, I’ll 
show it from near

20
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:32,700
It's so beautiful when seeing from my eyes, 
and it's even beautiful when I remove the 
shades!

21
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,600
like our nation this country also have prime 
minister

22
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:42,500
but they also have kings for separate regions 
and once in every year

23
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,400
The king will change the dress for the idol 
by himself

24
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:52,300
He will also do decorations for him, it's 
a great thing

25
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,200
Look at the path for the temple, looks cool

26
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:02,100
Similar to five headed snakes from our locality, 
They have dragons

27
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,500
We can see the Buddha if we walked along 
this steps

28
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,400
The time period to see the Buddha is from 
8 AM to 5 PM

29
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:15,300
And the sceneries will look good

30
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,200
around 8 AM in the morning, The idol will 
also looks wonderful during that time

31
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:25,100
This is the entrance of the temple

32
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,000
we need to climb via this path and for the 
costume we wear it should cover most parts

33
00:02:30,100 --> 00:02:34,900
It's applicable to both men and women, I'm 
referring to

34
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,800
avoid sleeveless or shorts

35
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:44,700
They also provide cloth to cover if you’re 
already wearing sleeveless if you're unaware 
of the rules

36
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,600
So for the visitors

37
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:54,500
They have this place for covering with clothes, 
They also worship the Buddha here

38
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,400
We're allowed to wear shoes till there

39
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:04,300
I never explored that much and clueless about 
the temple inside

40
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,200
We may be required to drop our shoes outside 
of the shrine

41
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:14,100
Another good thing respective to Thailand 
is

42
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:19,000
They believe in Buddhism, as our country 
divided in different religious beliefs

43
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:23,900
95% of this country are believed in Buddhism

44
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,800
Other religious followers are included in 
the remaining 5%

45
00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:33,700
But as I travel this country

46
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,600
I can observe Lord Ganesh in many places 
like food stalls, posters etc

47
00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:43,500
They drew Ganesh appearance on grass, fire 
and moon

48
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,400
We can see many different avatars of him

49
00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:53,300
Without wasting any time, let’s go and see

50
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,200
This is our path and the steps are gradually 
elevated

51
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:00,900
for easy climbing

52
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,000
[Music]

53
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:11,900
As we saw that snake like structure down 
at the start

54
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,800
It's Dragon and look at the structure of 
it

55
00:04:16,900 --> 00:04:21,700
The tail ends here and the curved path looks 
nice

56
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,600
I guess this stretch is about 150 Metres 
and

57
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:31,500
it appears as slope but the density of the 
step is about 3 inch

58
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,400
So it won’t make you tire, unlike conventional 
steps from other temples

59
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:41,300
this is to ensure the peace and convenience 
of the people

60
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,200
It’s there to ensure the calm mind of the 
people while climbing

61
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:51,100
It's not my opinion as they mentioned this 
matter at the start

62
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,000
They explained the reason for doing this

63
00:04:56,100 --> 00:05:00,900
We should not get tired while going for a 
worship, we need to be relaxed

64
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,800
We have so much of Buddha,

65
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:10,700
We're allowed to wander with footwear around 
this spot but some people

66
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,600
left their footwear here out of respect

67
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:19,800
You can do donations here

68
00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:24,700
They never charge entry fee here and ensure 
the timing as it's 8AM - 5PM

69
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,600
This Buddha here looks so beautiful

70
00:05:29,700 --> 00:05:34,500
He is the king and when we enter this place

71
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,400
We're not allowed to take video at the shrine 
and they request us to keep that as a exhibit 
of respect

72
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:44,300
We also allowed to take video on the outside, 
we’re following that guidelines

73
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,200
I'll worship individually and just show it 
from here for you guys

74
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:54,100
This is a small sit out area where people 
can rest after their visit

75
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:59,000
The grass are artificial only!

76
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:03,900
But the plants and small trees provide great 
shade for this place

77
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,800
The best time is, I have visited now, and 
it's a slightly sweating for me

78
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:13,700
They told me there was heavy rain during 
the last 3 days and it looks like not any 
more!

79
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,600
The weather and scene looks so majestic, 
can you see it?

80
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:23,500
That's made of single jade rock, which is 
a gemstone

81
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,400
The colour of the stone will be green and

82
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:33,300
He is built with that stone and then they 
gold plated the idol

83
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,200
Polished with gold and

84
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:43,100
jade is a mixture of jadeite nephrite

85
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,000
The colour will ideally green and

86
00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:52,900
Available in the southeast regions like Malaysia, 
Thailand and Philippines

87
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,800
These are so rare in this regions too and 
I can see that too

88
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:02,700
and the lips and some spots on the hands 
of the idol

89
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,600
We can see the green lining so the gold plating 
was

90
00:07:07,700 --> 00:07:12,500
slightly faded so we can observe the jade 
stone

91
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:17,400
There are many small Buddha idols and I'm 
not sure what it is

92
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:22,300
Look here five headed snake is giving shade 
to him

93
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,200
Now it's getting more sunny

94
00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:32,100
It's scorching, and here we can buy

95
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Things such as small lamps, incense sticks 
and oil

96
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:41,900
sticks are 10 Bhats and lamp oil is 20 Baths

97
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,800
I'm feeling so peaceful right now, and I 
hope you can experience the same if you visit 
this spot

98
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:51,700
Another Buddha is here and

99
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,600
Last time I saw Buddha in Srilanka

100
00:07:56,700 --> 00:08:01,500
But only concern here is, They're not having 
English option in many signs

101
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,900
So reading is difficult

102
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,800
They looks like Samurai or emperors made 
in green shade

103
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:12,600
I'm not sure if it's clear because of the 
sun's reflection

104
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:17,500
Buddha is sleeping and looks like laughing 
Buddha

105
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,400
Laughing Buddha is known as Kuberar in our 
region

106
00:08:22,500 --> 00:08:27,300
He is a so old Buddha and he is walking with 
a stick

107
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:32,200
One laughing buddha on this side, another 
important thing is

108
00:08:32,300 --> 00:08:37,100
This is the back side of the Buddha

109
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,000
We usually notice the front of the idol only 
and

110
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:46,900
many will unfinished on the back side, but 
that's not the case here

111
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,800
View is so famous, and it's rumoured that 
many will visit here only for the view

112
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:56,700
That maybe true also as I can see the Pattaya 
beach

113
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,600
Looks cool, so

114
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:06,500
That whole stretch is Pattaya beach only

115
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,400
The wind is heavy and unlike situation to 
that front area

116
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:16,300
This chills my sweaty body

117
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,200
This is also a sit out area as they have 
these shelters

118
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:26,100
We won’t be trapped during rain or hot summer

119
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:31,000
Look at this Buddha so unique and I have 
never seen like this before

120
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:35,900
Looks like Buddha who is on heavy fasting 
and with shallow body

121
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,800
Look he is so lean and the stomach has big 
pit like structure

122
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:45,700
This is known as the stage before the enlightened 
death

123
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,600
I think it's similar to that, I'm seeing 
this type statue for the first time

124
00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:55,500
I have seen Buddhas from Srilanka and Indonesia. 
But not like this one

125
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,200
He is so lean and on the verge of death

126
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:04,100
There is one bath stone here

127
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,000
In this place, King will be [BACKGROUND NOISE]

128
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:13,900
[BACKGROUND NOISE] Can you see it?

129
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,800
They have this small shelter

130
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:23,700
There is one Buddha as well

131
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,600
So boys are taking photos from that place

132
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:33,500
There are so many small Buddha statutes under 
here and I can see there are some small hen 
statues

133
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,400
It's similar to the zodiac signs from Tamil 
and English method

134
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:43,300
They have Chinese zodiac and mine is rooster 
on that

135
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,200
There are many animals for that so to fulfil 
their prayers

136
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:53,100
They place the symbol statues

137
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,000
As I said, I can see the green lines, you 
may not able to see

138
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:02,900
I'm sure that it won’t be captured in camera

139
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,800
That indicates the jade's make

140
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:12,700
They have this leaf-like plant structure

141
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,600
They write their wishes and plans

142
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:22,500
Either about their family's wellbeing or 
their relationships

143
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,400
They will hang their prayers

144
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:32,300
Appearance and texture mimics the leaves 
and it's so fragile

145
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,200
It comes in gold and silver plated

146
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:42,100
So they write their prayers on this

147
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,000
I also believe in such things, so will do 
the same while leaving

148
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:50,500
To get a prosper life

149
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,400
You can see very small Buddha, so beautiful

150
00:11:55,500 --> 00:12:00,300
I'm like a small ant under this huge Buddha!

151
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,200
I can't believe it was made from a single 
stone, It's a great thing

152
00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:10,100
People opt for cement structures but they 
made it with a single gemstone

153
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:15,000
Here we can see a small Buddha in the middle 
of a small pond like structure

154
00:12:15,100 --> 00:12:19,900
They're not flowers but floating candles

155
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,800
They will put that here and you can buy from 
these shops

156
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:29,700
You can also buy other pooja things as well

157
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:34,600
They also put price boards like 20 and 10 
Bhat

158
00:12:34,700 --> 00:12:39,500
They all for sale and you can buy small Buddha 
statue as well

159
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,400
This is a meditation area in the middle

160
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:49,300
We need to drop our footwears for that

161
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:54,200
I'll explain about those stick like structures 
while leaving

162
00:12:54,300 --> 00:12:59,100
They'll have baskets for each zodiac

163
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:08,900
So you can put your wishes and manifestations 
on those sticks

164
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,800
It's similar to the stand that holds coolers

165
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:17,800
You can put your sticks in those pots with 
your prayers

166
00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:22,700
Look at here, Big bell that seems to be used 
to announce the entrance of the King

167
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,100
[Movie clip]

168
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,000
I can't see the gong stick used to hit this; 
I guess they hide it to prevent tourists 
from making noises

169
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:34,400
[Comedy clip]

170
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:39,300
Look at this; it's so huge. Good ambience!

171
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,200
This may look like a big temple, but to my 
knowledge

172
00:13:44,300 --> 00:13:49,100
It's within 200 metres radius, as you can 
see the scenery point

173
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:54,000
This temple is small when considering the 
area

174
00:13:54,100 --> 00:13:58,900
But this place has many beautiful things. 
The one most obvious one is he

175
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,800
If you visit Pattaya, You must visit this 
Big Buddha temple

176
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:08,700
It's original name is wat...[SPEAKER NOISE]

177
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,600
I guess similar to that, my pronunciation 
is wrong and the local people's pronunciation 
is totally different

178
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:18,500
It's hard to pronounce their words

179
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,400
Kindly apologise if I made any mistakes, 
so do visit this Big Buddha temple

180
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:28,300
This will give you mental peace and serenity

00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,600
I'll tell one thing about this shop, all 
things you're seeing are for sale

cute

Do buy this gift from this place as everything 
looks beautiful

187
00:14:56,300 --> 00:15:01,100
This miniature statue looks cool as it's 
only comparable to my finger's size

188
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:06,000
This statue also looks cool

189
00:15:06,100 --> 00:15:10,900
They also have pictures to hang on walls, 
and they do have small ornaments like pills

190
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,800
You can find miniatures on that too, can 
you see it? these costs around 100 Bhat

191
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:20,700
This can be used as a pendant, rings, ropes

192
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,600
used to tie the beads, everything costs 100 
Bhat as the board says

193
00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:30,500
All different colours are available, like 
black, red, yellow, green and white. They 
also have in wood texture

194
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,400
Look, they have gold chains too!

195
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:39,300
It's the zodiac spot, as we cal it as Midhunam, 
simmam in Tamil zodiac

196
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,200
similar to that they have a unique zodiac 
system

197
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:49,100
Like monkey, rooster, dog, boar,

198
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,000
Goat, horse, snake and dragon too

199
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:58,900
In your respective zodiac

200
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,800
Similar to that leaflet

201
00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:08,700
They have a leaf on pencil-like stick

202
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,600
They put money on that and they put it in 
the big cylinder with their prayers

203
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:18,500
20 Bhat you can mostly see and

204
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,800
50 and 100 Bhat also can be observed

205
00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:27,700
Year of Dog... they have indicating boards 
for that

206
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:32,600
The stick is free but people put money on 
that for the prayers

207
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:37,500
If you're not sure about your symbol

208
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,400
They mentioned the year on this chart

209
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:47,300
Each zodiac signs have different years, you 
can check with the year you born

210
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,200
So everything will be

211
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:57,100
Available there, as I told I'm rooster

212
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,000
I born in 1993, so my sign is rooster

213
00:17:02,100 --> 00:17:06,900
So everyone will eat me easily! just kidding

214
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,800
They look so beautiful for the prayers

215
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:16,700
After entering the temple you can worship 
or do meditation

216
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,600
and if you do these prayers your life will 
be good that's the concept

217
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:26,500
I told this thing as oil initially but it's 
not oil, rather red water

218
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,400
As you can see they use this red water for..

219
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:36,300
as we offer foods to our Gods in our locality

220
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,200
This is similar to that concept, so they 
will buy those flowers and

221
00:17:41,300 --> 00:17:46,100
they will place this red water on the side

222
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,000
They also put straws on those bottles and 
thinks that he will drink that from those 
straws

223
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:55,900
As you can see they put it on every sides

224
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,800
This is a unique concept and I noticed one 
new thing

225
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:05,700
As I said you can buy things from the shop

226
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,600
All comes under 20-30 Bhat range only

227
00:18:10,700 --> 00:18:15,500
They put that money in the offerings box

228
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:20,400
All place contains small boxes like this

229
00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:25,300
They will pray and put money on those as 
they never getting money from hands

230
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,200
I wonder what is the purpose of this basket, 
this also acts as a savings box

231
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:35,100
as it contains money, you can put money via 
this mouth

232
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:40,000
This concept is so nice

233
00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:44,900
They also have these kind of boxes in shops 
but I missed to notice

234
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,800
Then I asked one of the vendors, he said 
that they never see this as a business opportunity

235
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:54,700
He said everything is for the devolopment

236
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:59,600
if you buy anything

237
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:04,500
they will put the money on the offering boxes

238
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:09,400
They have such good habits and I'm not willing 
to leave this place now

239
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:14,300
Both the place and the people are beautiful.

240
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:19,200
