17. After looking at less than half, I decided to come back here more prepared and when the construction is over.

P.S. the name of the place is Wat Dhammakaya. As it turned out, all this is managed by a very powerful organization Maha Puja. Up to a million people gather at the ceremony, everyone meditates in a single rhythm. It looks very impressive. I don't know if it's possible to take pictures there and move freely. Go and tell us
