Thailand - Big Reclining Buddha

Also at Wat Pho, the large reclining Buddha is utterly impressive. It is difficult to get a perspective from the photos but he is really, really long. Along each side of the Buddha, there are hundreds of small bronze pots that you are supposed to drop small coins in as you walk along the Buddha image. The sound is mesmerizing as you walk through the temple with all the other people.


Check out the feet on Buddha! Each foot is covered with intricate mother of pearl inlays.Posted by Picasa
