Travel Post : The Reclining Buddha - Thailand

Going back to our Bangkok, Thailand trip :) , we also visited the reclining buddha temple. I didnt see it the first time I went to Bangkok although we visited the same exact place. We thought it was a place where people pray and we didn't know that the reclining buddha was inside.

Anyways, I was so impressed with the intricate details on the wall and of course the golden reclining buddha! It was soooo huge!

According to our tour guide, it is made out of cement and gold plated. It's a must-see in Bangkok, definitely.

Did you know that buddha's different hand position represents a day in week?
