About
Brze činjenice: Ogromna statua ležećeg Bude, duga oko 46 metara, oduzima dah, a zlatna stopala su ukrašena majčinim biserima i 108 simboličnih znakova. U kompleksu se nalazi priznati centar tradicionalne masaže gdje možete dobiti autentičan tretman i naučiti tehnike koje su pomogle očuvanju drevnih iscjeliteljskih tradicija.
Istaknuto: Zamislite ogromnu zlatnu figuru dugu 46 metara i visoku 15 metara, čije tabane sjaje zahvaljujući majčinim školjkama u 108 inkrustiranih prizora kad sunčeva svjetlost uđe u dvoranu. U tišini posjetitelji ubacuju sitne kovanice u red od 108 bronzanih zdjela uz podnožje, šuštanje kovanica miješa se s mirisom tamjana i tiho pjevanim mantrama, a lokalna priča kaže da svaka zdjela prima jednu želju ili blagoslov.

- Get there at opening to beat tour buses and the midday heat.
- For unbroken full-length photos, use the north viewing platform facing the Reclining Buddha's head.

4.5Arrived at 8am with almost no line. 200 THB entry was worth it for the Reclining Buddha and murals, avoid the touristy stalls.
Came at 3pm and it was packed with tour groups, ticket line took 30 minutes. 200 THB felt steep, the Reclining Buddha is stunning but bring patience.
