Temple of the Golden Buddha (Wat Traimit)
The Temple of Golden Buddha or Wat Traimit is located in the Yaowarat Road in Chinatown, Bangkok. The temple is largely unremarkable, like the thousands of other Buddhist Temples in the city - except for the fact that it houses the world’s largest gold image of Buddha. The statue is made in the Sukhothai style of the 14th Century, although it could have been made after that period - the origins of the statue are still unknown. At some point in time, the statue was covered in stucco and plaster, so as to protect it from theft and the Burmese invasion. It worked, and the statue remained in Ayutthaya without attracting any attention. Later, when King Rama I shifted capitals to Bangkok, he ordered his men to bring back all the religious figurines and images from the destroyed city. And so it remained, for over a century and a half with nobody discovering its true worth under humble tin roofing. In 1954, when the statue was to be moved to a newly constructed viharn, it is said that the statue fell down, with the gold being revealed under the broken plaster. Its current housing, the large new building at Wat Traimit, was inaugurated on Valentine’s Day, 2010.
The Grand Palace
Bangkok's Grand Palace is the granddaddy of the many things to see in Thailand's capital city. The sprawling complex houses ornate structures that speak to the grandeur of Thai architectural tradition and history. Built in 1782, the palace was commissioned by then-king Rama I, who founded Thailand's Chakri Dynasty. During the centuries since it was first built, the palace grounds have been well maintained with particular care being taken to preserve and restore the palace's extensive murals. It's worth the splurge to experience a piece of Thailand's royal history firsthand.
