Temple Swing:

One of the tourist attractions in Bangkok is the giant swing made of teak wood and painted red. Over the past months there have been reports in the press of cracks appearing in the swing which was making it dangerous to the public. Apparently, restoration work, costing 3.39 million baht, has just been completed and extending its life for an estimated five more years.

The Swinging Festival used to take place every year but was discontinued after people have gotten hurt. But the swing is still revered by the Thai people as a symbol of the city’s history.
