Golden Buddha in Bangkok

The Golden Buddha in Bangkok, Thailand is one of the top sights to see in Bangkok.

The buddha is smaller and less opulent than either the giant reclining buddha or the Grand Palace in Bangkok.

However, Bangkok’s Golden Buddha still has its own charm.

Made of solid gold and weighing over 5.5 tons, Bangkok’s Golden Buddha is quite impressive.

The Golden Buddha in Bangkok is located in the upper level of the small Wat Traimit temple in Bangkok’s Chinatown.

The Golden Buddha is open to visitors for an entry fee of 20 Bhat.

Visitors must remove shoes before entering the room, and photographs are allowed.

Wat Traimit and the Golden Buddha in Bangkok are located on Yaowarat Road near Hualamphong Train Station.
