Wat Pho and Wat Traimit
. .
. .
We needed to do some touristy things so we decided to go to the temple Wat Pho, it has a HUGE Buddha laying on his side looking very relaxed hehe. The “Mother of Pearl” is the feet of the Buddha that nobody is allowed to touch, except for Shayda of course!! haha!!!
After that we went to Sukhothai Wat Traimit (Golden Buddha), which is a really big Buddha also, but this one is solid gold! Yep you heard me correctly!!! Supposedly worth approx. $14 million USD, which actually seems pretty underpriced to me since there is only 1 of these Buddhas in the world.
Thailand has a TON of Buddhas and temples!
Good times, good pics, good….hmmm….learning experience too
