Welcome to the reclining Buddha temple. Make yourself at home, I'll keep an eye on you...
These are donation/prayer pots, you get a little tin bowl filled with one satang coins ( 1 cent sort of) and drop one in each pot. Not familiar with how it works beyond that but I can share that the sound of coins being dropped in a row in an empty temple is something I shall not forget anytime soon.
I knew the statue was going to be big but I was still impressed.
The feet are decorated with mother of pearl. Remember never to point your feet at any Buddha statue or Thai person, very disrespectful.
Even His back shines, those sculptors really paid attention to detail. Don't forget to visit the statue when you go to Bangkok.
