700 years old relics preserved in Mahayana Buddhist temple in Bangkok

I was with some Buddhist friends at the Center plaza in Bangkok, we were approached by a tuk-tuk driver and drove us to a beautiful Buddha temple and charged us for 30/- Thai bath. When we arrived , we saw a traditional Mahayana Buddhist temple , but combination with the Taoism elements such as the flying dragons were crafted on top of the temple. At the main entrance, you will be greeted by the giant Laughing Buddha and a very compassionate 1000 hands and 1000 eyes Avalokestisvara Bodhisattva. In site the main shrine, you will see a very beautiful and holy Sakyamurni Buddha and Manjusri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva respectively. (unfortunately I had forgotten to take some pictures) 
                                              
You may find countless of San Phra Phrom or Brahma Sahampati holy statue almost in every corner of Bangkok Thailand for worshipping for his blessing and blissful state. This is not exceptional with an amazing and beautiful San Phra Phrom or Brahma Sahampati shrine built in the temple and the holy statue is facing directly to the main entrance of the temple.
After I  had paid my respects to the Majestic San Phra Phrom or Brahma Sahampati holy shrine , and I took a picture of the passing clouds in the sky and it looks amazing, but some said it looks like some kinds of formation or appearance ? But I see nothing, but just a passing clouds.
This is a Chinese architecture of the Pagoda and it is distinctively designed with surrounded by the protecting flying Dragons. This is a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing everyone with the surrounding environment and often spiritually significant structures with elements influenced. 
This holy Buddhas statues are located on top of the Pagoda,  and with his tranquility and peaceful energies it will certainly will make you  so calming,  peace of minds and blissful state of minds.
According to the guard, this Pagoda only open with certain occasion or event. A very rare Buddha amulet or relics that has been unearthed and believed to be dated back to 700 years old and you can see the Buddha amulet had been crafted with precious gem stones.
