1.) ASOKE SOLDIERS (POLYALTHIA LONGIFOLIA) guard Big Gym City against lightning strikes (yes we have lightning rods too, but the Asoke Soldiers do a much better job (about 10% are wounded [had their tops fried by direct hits which otherwise might have hit buildings or even people )....THIS ARMY IS ALWAYS ON DUTY...A FINE ROW OF BRAVE SOLDIERS....Thank You
2.) SING TOE: (Not a lion but a Thai God & guardian from beyond the grave).... One of many who guard against all ghosts, evil spirits, demons & any other bad things that might come to theair home (in this case Big Gym City)....Also will bring final good luck.
3.) MERE NANG TOL-AN- EE (The Thai Angel of the Earth).... Not just a beautiful face but a traditionaly reveered angel of good luck to all who stay inside "her" property (in this case Big Gym City.
4.) MA-HA-SET-TEE: Much more than a dangerous thorned plant....It does by Thai tradition guard the property it is planted on & bring good luck & "eventual money & gold".
5.) KOON-GIN-LA-LEE ( The Thai Angel of Birds ).... Another beautiful spirit being who also brings good luck who Thais believe wull bring money & gold (& a lot of birds) to the property she resides in (there surely are a lot of birds in Big Gym City (they nest in the Asoke Soldier Trees)
6.) YAK: ( A THAI 4th DIMENSIONAL BEING that is half animal & half human).... Yak guiards against all bad things coming to the property it is situated in & it is traditionaly believed that Yak will bring fierce bad luck to those who come with evil in their heart.
7.) DOUBLE SPIKED STEEL RAILIGS w/ barbed wire (& the profusion of many Spiritual Guardians) evoke some considerable respect from the local Thai population who originally were frightened of Big Gym City (before it was named) believing it to bre haunted but now often come to "tour the sights".
5a.) KOON GIN-LA-LEE (The thai angel of Birds) has taken off her wings to bathe (Wow!) & is flanked by an ancient boulder & a Ton Kawy Tree... A beautiful Spiritual Angel in a beautiful setting who does splendid work too.
8.) KOON SU-LAT-SA-WA-DEE: Thai Angel of Luck who barrs entry to all ghosts, demons & evil spirits. (She Is the Arch Angel [the boss] of the other angels. She loves song & music (& we love her too....ABSOLUTLY BEAUTIFUL) ... the setting is quite spectacular too.
9.) THAI ELEPHANTS are an ancient & powerful omen of good fortune to all protected by their presence, Koon Su-Lat-Wa-Dee resides on top of this fine & noble animal which in turn adorns the Spa Pool which is surrounded by ancient boulders north of the Dragon Pool.
10.) WHAT ABOUT HUMAN GUARDS? ( you ask )....OK, you have no doubt heard of the famous movie ( whichJohn Wayne stars in ) named "TRUE GRIT" .... So, KOON GRIT is head of the off duty Thai Poiice Security Group who have guarded Big Gym City for several years already now (for a very reasonable monthly fee).... Thank You Koon Grit & all the beautifulThai Angels & all the handsome demons that GUARD Big Gym City so well....THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH
