Temple where you can admire the Sukhothai-era golden Buddha, the world's largest, weighing 5 tons, on display on the floor.

Home to the world's largest golden Buddha (Phra Maha Mondop), weighing in at 5 tonnes. This Buddha was discovered by chance in 1953, when it was being lifted by crane from a storage room to the chapel. The Buddha slipped, the stucco covering cracked, and a magnificent gold statue from the Sukhothai period was discovered, which the kings of Ayutthaya had concealed from the Burmese. An exhibition on the3rd floor of the palace traces and explains this history and the origin of the Golden Buddha.

Situé tout prés de chinatown, joli temple dont l’ascension permet d'acceder a un bouddha doré dans une petite salle. Petits vendeurs dans les rues alentour notamment de fruits.

An impressive statue and a certain fervour that makes the place pleasant. Wall paintings, although simple and repetitive, are very beautiful and still all fresh.
Entrance fee: super 40 to see the statue on the 4th floor of the temple or 140 super to visit the museum of the 2 lower floors.
