The temple is located in the noisy Chinatown. In front of the entrance there is a huge, full-length portrait of King Rama 10, who has not yet been crowned. We go up the stairs, under the wall of the shelf for shoes. There are a lot of tourists, and the entrance to the temple is only barefoot and always in decent clothes. First, we approached a huge bowl, throwing a coin into it. Got it? ring the bells, your wish will come true! We enter the temple. And here it is, the largest solid gold Buddha statue in the world! According to legend, it was brought from the former capital to Bangkok, covered with plaster. The true value of the statue was kept secret for almost 200 years.
When the temple of Wat Traimit was built, the “disguise” was damaged during the transportation of the statue, and it became clear that the statue was made of high-grade gold. Recommend.
