Private Ultimate Grand Bangkok Sightseeing and Culture Tour

What's included

What you'll see and do

1. Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)

   Golden Buddha. See the largest pure gold statue in the entire world. For almost 200 years, the statue was covered in plaster and considered ordinary. In 1955, while moving the statue, the plaster cracked, revealing the gold underneath. This became an important spiritual and cultural event for Thailand. The market value is estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars. The history of the statue is often used as a metaphor in Buddhism, as the inner value of a person can be hidden from view. This is a lesson about self-discovery and inner enlightenment.
