About
Kiired faktid: Kuldsära ja massiivne 46 meetri pikkune lamav kuju lummab silmi, selle jalataldadelt leiab 108 pärlmutterist õnnemärki. Paljud külastajad tulevad siia traditsioonilist Tai massaaži õppima või nautima, ning kohalik massaažikool koos hulga buda-kujudega ja värvikirevate stupadega muudab paiga eriliseks.
Tipphetked: 46 meetri pikkuse ja 15 meetri kõrguse lebava Buddha jalataldad on kaetud pärlmutterinkrustatsioonidega, millel on 108 õnnistust sümboliseerivat pilti ning peen graveering, mis hommiku päikesekiirte all kuldseks helgib. Alal tegutseb Tai traditsioonilise massaaži kool, kus õpilased harjutavad sajandivanuseid survetehnikaid, ja külastajad viskavad 108 pronkskaussi münte õnne toomiseks; koridoridesse jääb eeterlike õlide ja põlevate viirukite magus-kirp lõhn.

- 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.
