After my tour of the Grand Palace, I grabbed a quick rest in the shade of the compounds outer walls.

Wat Pho, Temple of the Reclining Buddha
2007-05-20 12:52:00
Wat Pho (????????), or Wat Phra Chetuphon (????????????) as it is generally known to the Thais, is mainly famous for the huge Reclining Buddha statue it houses. At 20 acres large, it is the largest Wat in Bangkok, and is technically the oldest too, as it was built around 200 years before Bangkok became Thailand's capital. However, today the Wat today bears virtually no resemblance to that originally constructed, as it was almost entirely rebuilt by Rama I when the capital was moved to Bangkok. It holds the dual honors of having both Thailand's largest reclining Buddha image and the most number of Buddha images in Thailand.The highly impressive gold plated reclining Buddha is 46 meters long and 15 meters high, and is designed to illustrate the passing of the Buddha into nirvana. The feet and the eyes are engraved with mother-of-pearl decoration, and the feet also show the 108 auspicious characteristics of the true Buddha.The large grounds of Wat Pho contain more than 1000 Buddha im...

Reclining Buddha of Wat Khun Inthapramun : Ang Thong
2007-05-12 05:02:00
This 50 meters reclining Buddha is housed in Wat Khun Inthapramun, Amphoe Pho Thong, 11 kilometers from the township. The monastery is located in the open air of the rice fields having no roof due to the Wihan housing the image being in ruins. In front of this image lies a statue of a man who, according to the legend, is Khun Inthapramun, a revenue officer who secretly took away the official money to enlarge the original 40 meters construction of the image. When the king heard about that and interrogated him where from he obtained the money he did not answer and was whipped to death, thus originating the name of this monastery as Wat Khun Inthapramun.source: hotelthailand.comphoto : moohinTechnorati Tags: Ang Thong/Wat Khun Inthra Pramun/Thai temple/Thailand temple/Reclining Buddha
