Bangkok: Wat Traimit - Golden Buddha

In this video I'm heading to the Wat Traimit where the Golden Buddha is seated. I've wanted to visit the Wat Traimit for years and I finally get around to this today.

This temple is well known for its 3-metre tall, 5.5 tons solid gold Buddha image, constructed over 700 years ago, Originally the gold image was covered with plaster to conceal it from the invading Burmese and was just rediscovered accidentally about 40 years ago.
On 14 February 2010, Wat Traimit’s new building named “Phra Maha Mondop” was officially opened to the public.  And the Gold Buddha was moved here. The first floor of the building is the Yaowarat Chinatown Heritage Centre where tourists can learn the history of the Chinese immigrants in Thailand as well as their culture which has become part of the Thai culture. The second floor holds an exhibition of the origin of the Gold Buddha. And the top level is where the world’s largest gold Buddha image is enshrined.

I have visited there three years ago in 2018, and it's a beautiful Golden Buddha statue. And gentlemen's Please don't forget to remove your fedora (hat) when entering the temple. And after visiting the Golden Buddha; t's a must that you should go and visit the reclining Buddha; and the Jade Buddha; and The Grand Palace; and it's all within a 3 mile radius as a passenger on Tuk Tuk..

Vipan Patail This is Thai style buddha, not indian buddha. Their figures are similar but not the same. Thai style buddha is very delicate and when you see it, you can tell the different which one is Thai which one is Indian buddha.
