The stone in your pictures at the temple are beautiful. Does Thailand have a good natural stone resource such as quary's? God bless you

A large number of marble and granite deposits have been discovered in Thailand. Operation of marble quarries began in the province of Saraburi in the mid-50s and underwent considerable development after 1984-85. However, granite quarrying is more recent

If you are talking about the stone statues around the temples, many of these came from China several hundred years ago as ballast in their trading ships. On the return trip they weren't needed and so were left in Thailand.
