The Temple where a Giant Golden Buddha Awaits You!

I visited Wat Paknam in Bangkok and I was impressed by its scale and elegance. It is a royal temple that dates back to 1610, during the Ayutthaya period, and has received royal patronage ever since. It is situated in the Phasi Charoen district, adjacent to the Chao Phraya River and several canals. The temple features a splendid stupa that was inaugurated in 2012, named Maharatchamongkhon. It is 80 meters tall and 46 meters wide, and has five floors filled with Buddhist art and relics. The stupa is adorned with gold and colorful glass mosaic tiles, making it shine in the sunlight. I ascended to the top floor and beheld a magnificent emerald Buddha statue, surrounded by thousands of smaller Buddha images. The temple also features a colossal bronze Buddha statue that was completed in 2021, placed in front of the stupa. It is 69 meters tall and 32 meters wide, and weighs 250 tons. It is one of the largest Buddha statues in the world, and it looks very majestic and tranquil. I felt very calm and inspired when I saw it. I appreciated my visit to Wat Paknam very much. It is a place where you can admire the beauty and grandeur of Buddhism. It is also a place where you can learn about the history and culture of the Phasi Charoen district, which has been influenced by the temple for centuries. I recommend it to anyone who wants to see a remarkable temple in Bangkok. #travel #mytripvlog #wecreate #temple #bangkok
