One of the most iconic photo spots at Suenapum airport is in front of the 12 towering giants.
00:06
These statues, inspired by the legendary Yaksha from the Amramakian epic,
00:11
are replicas of the ones at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
00:14
Originally placed on the second floor of the arrivals hall,
00:17
the giants were eventually moved to the more spacious fourth floor.
00:22
Why?
00:22
Because these grand figures need a space worthy of their presence,
00:26
and according to Feng Shui believes, this new location allows them to better protect the airport from harm.
00:33
Now, as you walk through the terminal,
00:35
you'll find these majestic guardians standing proudly across the gates.
00:39
So next time you're traveling abroad or just passing through Suenapum,
00:43
don't forget to take a picture with these majestic protectors.
