I have shared before that the apartment has an incredible view of Wat Thammongkol. Monks live and work here, growing and raising some of the food they eat and exchanging blessings in the community for prepared food, transportation and anything else they may need.
Wat Thammongkol Boasts Thailand's tallest Chedi which was built about 20 years ago and is topped with 17 kilograms of pure gold and 1,063 diamonds. The temple houses the worlds largest jade statue, depicting Buddha in the Lotus posture. The statue was carved by an Italian master in 1990 from a 57 ton block of jade that was mined from Kings Mountain in Western Canada.
