Thai Buddhist temples

Apparently nearly 95% of Thailand's population is a Buddhist. Buddhist temples are everywhere in this touristy, Asian country. The temples itself are characterized by tall golden stupas.

The focus of this religion is on man, not gods; the assumption is that life is pain or suffering, which is a consequence of craving, and that suffering can end only if desire ceases. The end of suffering is the achievement of nirvana, often defined as the absence of craving and therefore of suffering, sometimes as enlightenment or bliss.
