What to Do at Wat Trai Mit?
Content show
The striking spire of Wat Trai Mit protects a 5-metre-tall seated Buddha statue made of solid gold. Weighing in at 5.5 tonnes, the statue dates back to the 13th century and was originally covered in plaster. Somewhat ironically, the statue’s true value was only revealed when movers accidentally dropped it, breaking away some of the plaster.
You can learn more about the statue in the temple’s museum on the third floor. On the second floor, you’ll find a 3D presentation telling the story of Chinese traders in Bangkok.
