Golden Buddha (Luang Por Tho)

This photo shows the Golden Big Buddha (Luang Por Toh) at Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen in Bangkok, Thailand. Wat Paknam is a famous temple located in the Phasi Charoen district of Bangkok, and is particularly popular among tourists and believers for its huge Buddha statue and beautiful pagoda. This golden Big Buddha is a relatively new statue completed in 2021, and is about 69 meters tall. It can be seen from the city of Bangkok and the canal, and it creates a majestic atmosphere while blending in with the surrounding landscape. Wat Paknam also has a fantastic emerald green pagoda, the interior of which is decorated with beautiful swirling patterns. The temple is also known as a meditation center, and many believers visit and practice there. This photo shows the Big Buddha from an angle where you can look up at it up close, as well as a view of the Buddha from a boat along the canal, giving you a sense of the iconic charm of Wat Paknam. If you are visiting Bangkok, we recommend you visit and see this magnificent sight for yourself. #0yentravelFebruary2025
