Ibrahim Jabbari
The temple itself it not very attractive, but Wat Traimit is famous for holding the world’s largest massive golden Buddha statue. It weights five and a half tons… Interesting fact: in the past, artisans made the statues in gold but covered them in stucco and plaster to hide them from invading armies. The Wat Traimit Buddha was discovered when it was accidentally dropped, revealing the gold underneath the plaster….
The temple is situated close to the main Bangkok railway station Hua Lampong.
