The largest pure gold Buddha statue in the world

#SongkranTrip Phra Phuttha Maha Suwan Patimakorn, the largest pure gold Buddha statue in the world Wat Traimit Witthayaram is located on Charoen Krung Road near Hua Lamphong Railway Station. Originally, the temple was called "Wat Sam Chin Tai", which was named after the number of 3 Chinese builders. There is no evidence of when it was built. Until 1939, the name was changed from "Wat Sam Chin" to "Wat Traimit Witthayaram". What you must not miss when visiting Wat Traimit is to pay homage and ask for blessings from the Golden Buddha or Phra Phuttha Maha Suwan Patimakorn, enshrined in the "Phra Maha Mondop Chaloem Phrakiat 80 Phansa", which is the largest pure gold Buddha statue in the world, weighing 5.5 tons. According to beliefs, those who pay homage to Luang Pho Thongkham will be wealthy and have money to spend throughout the year. There is also the principal Buddha image, "Phra Phuttha Thotsaphon Yan" or "Luang Pho To Wat Sam Chin", which is enshrined in this ordination hall. It is a stucco Buddha statue covered in gold lacquer with beautiful Buddha features.
