Glass Temple and National Park
About 90 min from Phitsanulok there is a crazy gorgeous temple. Its made of shards of broken china, beads, glass, ands lots of other colorful things. About 100 yards from that temple theres a second white temple with tiered Buddhas. Theses were two of my favorite three temples in Thailand. On the way home we stopped at a Chinnese temple. On a second trip (with friends of the schools owner) to the white temple and mosaic temple we also went to a nearby national park that commemorates those who died in a war with Vietnamese (I think) Communist.
