Chiang Mai | The Wat Buppharam, sought after in the movie 'Lost in Thailand', why is there a Donald Duck?

'Lost in Thailand' has been many years ago. But it still remains one of my favorite domestic movies. So visiting that temple was entirely due to a certain sentiment. I remember a scene that struck me at the time was the presence of a Donald Duck in the temple. I always wanted to know why. Today, after asking the monks in the temple, I finally learned that there is a Buddhist school for children inside the temple. To better integrate the children into the temple life, they added Donald Duck and many other cartoon elements. Having found the answer, I took another moment to appreciate this Burmese-style garden temple. It has been over 300 years. One cannot help but marvel, how centuries fly by in an instant. Cherish the present. So I made a call to my family... 🛕Name: Wat Buppharam 📍Address: 143 Tha Phae Road, Tambon Chang Moi, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50300 🚗Parking available 🎫20 Thai Baht.
