Wat Lahan Yai is a quiet temple just up the road from Wat Lahan Rai. It is known for it’s big sitting Buddha. It also has a beautiful raised Viharn decorated in red, gold, blue and white. It was closed when we visited and had the place to ourselves, so it was very peaceful.
I thought it was a real shame that this didn’t attract as many visitors as Wat Mahan Rai, because the site is quite compact and the Viharn is spectacular.
The main attraction at the Yorkshire Wildlife park are the Lions. They have three Prides with about twelve lions in total.
The park launched a massive rescue of Lions from Oradea Zoo in Romania. The Lions were suffering and the Zoo needed help to ensure the Lions were able to live in better conditions than they could provide. In stepped the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, who created a 9 acre enclosure split into 3 areas. You can see the Lions are well and settled. A story with a happy ending.
Fantastic animals.
