About
Hitre informacije: Ogromna ležeča figura meri približno 46 metrov v dolžino in 15 metrov v višino, obiskovalce osupne s svojo zlatorumeno oblogo in izjemnimi detajli. Pod stopali krasijo mozaiki iz materinega bisera z 108 simboli sreče, medtem ko obiskovalci v notranjih hodnikih zaznajo vonj kadila in odmeve stopinj.
Vrhunci: Predstavljaj si 46 metrov dolg in 15 metrov visok ležeči kip, prekrit z bleščečimi zlatimi ploščicami, pri katerem so stopala okrašena z intarzijo iz matične perle in 108 podrobnimi simboli. Ob njem je vrsta 108 bronastih skledic, v katere obiskovalci tiho spuščajo kovance za zasluge, poleg tega pa v tamkajšnji šoli tradicionalne masaže študenti vadijo starodavne tehnike ob vonju zelišč in šumenju sveč.

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.
