Home to a 5.5-ton solid gold Buddha statue, one of the world's largest golden sculptures and a stunning example of intricate craftsmanship.
This 3-meter-tall solid gold Buddha is massive and radiant — the statue was hidden under plaster for centuries and only discovered in the 1950s when it was being moved.
A museum in the temple complex explains the statue's history and restoration; English placards throughout.
Located in Chinatown, accessible by MRT Hua Lamphong station or a short tuk-tuk ride from the old city.
