Historic Place, Religious Sight

Best known for housing the world’s largest solid gold Buddha statue named as Phra Phuttha Maha Suwan Patimakon, Wat Traimit Wittayaram Worawihan is a famous Buddhist temple in Bangkok’s Chinatown. Covered with plaster for centuries to disguise its value, during relocation in 1950 the plaster crack revealing gold beneath. Its golden Buddha is awe, inspiring, and its location makes it a perfect gateway into the vibrant Chinatown district.
