Central World prayers
This shrine is only a few steps away from the legendary
Central World Shopping center and a line of large beer
bars that are run by the big breweries as one of the
entertainment attractions at night so that stopping
by for a little prayer or meditation between office
work and fun time is just very easy.

 |
Christmas has become very popular in Thailand though
it basically has not that much to do with Buddhism and
certainly most Thai people have never felt any snow
on their skin.
