The Worlds Biggest Golden Buddha – 5 Tons in Gold!

By

The following day, the tour people brought me to visit some of the great temples of Bangkok. The first stop was this smallish temple called Wat Traimit – or in English – ‘The Temple of Golden Buddha’

For obvious reasons, the temple has 1 major focal tourist point and thats the Golden Buddha.

The Golden Buddha weighs over 5 tons and its all made in real solid gold and it’s huge! It was amazing. I was sure that it must have been really difficult to make it, particularly during those early days. Heres the video of the Golden Buddha (probably in 24K Gold :-) )

and heres me with the Golden Buddha in the background :)
