Quietly Watching Over: The Stone Statues of Animals

As you stroll through the grounds of Wat Pho, you'll be greeted by various stone statues of animals. Lions, elephants, horses, and even mythical creatures are placed as symbols of Thai and Chinese traditional culture and faith. These animals, representing strength and protection, enhance the sacred atmosphere of the temple. These stone sculptures not only serve as decorations but also convey messages from ancient times to the present.
