Each week we post a link to an article in Bangkok 101   - and today the article we link to is about the unique history of Loha Prasat – the ‘Iron Temple’ OR the ‘Monastery of the Royal Niece’ -  https://www.bangkok101.com/wat-ratchanatdaram/ . Original words by Joe Cummings and CPS Media. Wat Ratchanatdaram is a large area not always visited as much as the Golden Mountain Temple just over the river. Expect to make a visit and see no tourists. The Loha Prasat - https://goo.gl/maps/Fc6YMTM7KEq - is known for its tier of 37 golden towers (they were originally black) and the number 37 represents the 37 factors of enlightenment cultivated by the bodhisattavas (Buddhist saints or Buddhists-to-be).

Cape+Kantary is a magazine that you will find in all the Cape and Kantary Properties . In this edition of the magazine - https://www.capekantaryhotels.com/ckmagazine/Issue18/index.html - (Page 80) they examine the  “misconception of freeing birds or other kinds of animals as a merit or boon to their life.”  – quote from Khun Tirapongse Pangsrivongse – Chairman of Cape&Kantary Hotels. The original campaign o n  raising awareness was started in September 2016 and we remind you here lest we forget. As the writer Tefor Cowles wrote -        and when the dawn is silent, you must say, “I let that happen” . At Cape and Kantary Hotels, we actively support  SOSChildrensVillages  and the Thai Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. We do not serve foie gras, birds’ nest or shark’s fin in our restaurants and we also stand firmly against the exploitation of Thai elephants for commercial or entertainment purposes.
