Six Shots of Snakes Guarding Buddha

95% of Thais are Buddhists. In Thailand, there are lots of Wats, which are Buddhist temples. One of the features that they almost all have, and that Justin finds very interesting, is creatures guarding the Buddha statues at the bottom of the steps. We're still trying to figure out whether they are snakes or dragons, but they all look pretty incredible!






They come in a variety of shapes, styles and colors.



Some of them are very large.



And if you look carefully, you'll notice that the main snakes are coming out of another snakes mouth. Kind of like in the movie Alien.
