Otherwise known as Wat Traimit, the Temple of the Golden Buddha is a highlight of Bangkok's Chinatown neighborhood. Its claim to fame, besides being a substantial temple, is a massive gold Buddha statue that weighs 5,500 kilograms.
Exterior of the imposing temple.
Praying at the big Buddha. He's purportedly to be the biggest solid gold Buddha in the world. Another figure, not as valuable.
The Wat has a little museum, with a few dioramas that glorify the Buddha statue. First up, moving the golden one at the beginning.
Ornamentation, sealed for your protection. Back to the dioramas, a little supervision is needed, with some sun protection.
Later in its life, our golden hero gets paraded through the streets.
