Wat Traimit, known as the Golden Buddha Temple, houses the world's largest solid gold Buddha statue weighing 5.5 tons. This magnificent 13th-century treasure was hidden beneath plaster for centuries to protect it from invaders, only discovered in 1955 when the plaster accidentally cracked during renovations.
Located in Bangkok's Chinatown district, the temple serves as both an active place of worship and museum showcasing Thai-Chinese heritage. The Golden Buddha's serene expression and gleaming surface create an awe-inspiring sight, particularly when illuminated by the temple's carefully positioned lighting.
