Wats are the most consistent offering as it seems that every village has at least one and they also turn up in the most unlikely situations, sometimes miles from anything of significance. Usually they are very basic in the typical white and red theme and nothing to get too excited about unless you are a first timer in the country. Sometimes the temptation to head off down small sois or lanes based on a wat signpost can be too much. Disappointment usually results but sometimes you find a gem or at least a weird interpretation of the Buddha’s teachings.
