During our Christmas holiday we traveled to the highest point in Thailand (8,530 ft) Doi Inthanon. The King and Queen each has a chedi built in their honor by the military. A chedi is a place that is used as a memorial or place where the family ashes could be housed. It is directly related to the beliefs of Buddhism. Chedis or stupas can be found everywhere in Thailand.  Posted by Picasa
