Today's guided tour includes visits to three of Bangkok's most unusual Buddhist temples: Wat Traimit (Temple of the Golden Buddha), Wat Po (Temple of the Reclining Buddha), and Wat Benchamabophit (The White Marble Temple). Beginning at Wat Traimit, you'll venture inside the temple where you will find the world's largest solid-gold Buddha. Carved in the ancient Sukhothai style and believed to be cast over nine centuries ago, the Golden Buddha of Wat Traimit is nearly 10 feet high, and weighs an impressive 5.5 tons. The tour continues through Chinatown to visit Wat Po, the largest and oldest temple in Bangkok, featuring the world-famous Reclining Buddha statue. Next, visit Wat Benchamabophit and its "Phra Buddhajinaraja" (Bronze Buddha), beneath which lies the ashes of King Rama V. Considered one of the finest examples of Thai architecture to date, Wat Benchamabophit is home to the decorative Ubosot Hall, beautifully erected from Italian Carrara marble in the European Neoclassical style.
