Buddhist Hells in Thailand

Thaismile Photo Gallery

This area shows what can happen in the hells of Buddhist mythology. Personally, a lot of figures gave me a start. If one is sensitive to this kind of thing, skip it. The five bad deeds mentioned correspond to the Five Precepts.

Huge keepers
(A short walk from the entrance, one will see the huge keepers standing at the cauldron of hell.)
Cauldron of hell
(Good actions eventually take one to the heavens, and bad karma gets one to the cauldron or other miseries in the hells.)
Around the keepers (Bad actors for their actions will be transformed into horrible figures like this.)
Five bad deeds: No.1
(If one kills or does not have love, he or she will receive a result like this.)
Five bad deeds: No.2
(If one steals something or cheats other people, one will receive a result like this.)
Five bad deeds: No.3
(If one sexually misconducts oneself or takes another person's partner, this may result.)
Five bad deeds: No.4
(If one lies or deceives other people, there are results like this.)
Five bad deeds: No.5
(If one drinks until one loses control, this is a result.)
Other penalty 1
(If one kills one's spouse, there will be a result like this.)
Other penalty 2
(If one engages in sexual misconduct or rape, there is a result like this.)
Other penalty 3
