😡 Very angry! Meet foreigners doing this when traveling to Ayutthaya temple.
This trip was intended to visit temples in Ayutthaya in a childish way, take pictures, absorb the ancient atmosphere, because I love a place with a lot of history. 🏯✨
But there was one incident that changed my feelings...
As we looked around the temple, we suddenly saw a foreign tourist standing on an old brick wall, and he said, "Pry your hands on the bricks," as if to pull out. 😳
At first I thought my eyes were astringent, but no... he actually did!
These walls are ancient sites, hundreds of years ago, not decorations to play with.
We looked like... shocked and angry.
It's not just about etiquette, it's also about "respecting the place."
The more it is a temple, the more it is a historic landmark.
What we should do is heal, not destroy.
Would like to leave to everyone, whether Thai or foreign
- Don't grab, pry or climb historic sites.
- Don't think it's okay.
- What's in front of us is what later generations should see.
That day we didn't go in with a voice, but really wanted more care or knowledge.
Because in the end...
A nice place to stay.
It has to start with "people who come together to heal."
Otherwise, one day.
What we want to show the world
It could disappear because of a small act like this. 😔
