Singha

This creature is called a singha. It is like a lion and they often guard the entrance to temples in Thailand. This one is at the Royal Wat in Bangkok.

Wat means temple in Thai and also in Khmer.

Can you see the smaller creatures on the wall behind? They are called garudas.

love from your Grandpa in Thailand
