ตำบลเกาะพะงัน, Thailand
Deep in the tropical interiors of Thailand’s Koh Phangan island, far from the neon-lit beaches of its famous parties, lies a sanctuary of quiet contemplation. Here, a striking outdoor staircase painted in vivid red and white ascends sharply into a dense, emerald-green forest canopy. Serving as both a physical climb and a symbolic spiritual journey, the path is flanked by monumental golden dragon sculptures that wind their way up the hillside, acting as protective guardians for the sacred space above.
The video shows a long, straight outdoor staircase painted red and white. Golden dragon statues act as railings on both sides of the staircase, which leads uphill towards a small structure and trees. Colorful flags are strung along the staircase. Some fallen leaves are scattered on the steps. The scene is set in a lush, green environment with dense trees in the background.
