The golden buddha is housed in the Wat Traimit temple. It is a temple that is easy to miss. We took a sky train, then a subway and landed in Chinatown. I risked my life crossing a couple of roads and then this temple easily missed emerged. When I went in, it was sunny and when I came out it was overcast. I was glad I got some shots early in the day when the sun was shinning, it glimmered off of the temple.
This temple houses the Golden Buddha, a solid gold Buddha on the top floor of the temple. Lower floors are used to house exhibitions about the history of the Chinese in Bangkok and how the golden Buddha was made. It was overall a really great place to go to and kind of a hidden gem.
The temple and the Buddha are incredible sights! Your pictures are so gorgeous.
