This gold leaf is often applied to a Buddha statue. Although thin, when applied by many, the Buddha looks like a solid gold statue.
At one of the major Buddhist meditation center that I visited, there was a life solid gold statue of the founding monk built from donations of many and wealthy donors. But I guess, it is depends on how much worldly wealth you have, gold leaves are good enough.

Well, that was new thing for me. As i have been travelled in SE Asia earlier, the lack of chopsticks was surprised. Thais ususlly use fork and spoon, but you get chopsticks if you ask some. Ofcourse in chinatowns there are chopsticks available.
I do prefer eating with chopsticks(especially noodles). Leave a Comment

 Gohp, khao, jai gai (frog,
rice, chicken heart) by SumTingWong
1) Only eat with your RIGHT HAND.
2) Eat with a spoon, don't eat with a fork; only use the fork to put food on the spoon.
3) Wash your hands before eating.
4) If you are in a homestay, shower before eating (as much as possible).
5) Sticky rice is a hand food! Ball it up, then make it into a pinch pot and use it as a little edible spoon-bowl type thing to eat.
6) Enjoy your meal!!! Leave a Comment
