This temple is home to a 40-metre tall “Standing” Buddha. I believe that it would be a magnificent site to visit, but unfortunately when we were there, the monument was all covered up in scaffolding, undergoing restoration. Should you decide to visit this place anytime soon, be sure to check if the works are completed.
Terrible site. Really poor temple and budah under repair. Do not go if not in your original plans.
Part of the scam it to take you to a fashion shop claiming is a special offer day.
No reason to go there as the big Buddha is under reconstruction. If you are beeing reccommended to go there by tuk tuk drivers be aware of the reconstruction.
Impressive structure, we visited early to avoid the crowds, well worth the visit, we went by tuk tuk for the emerald palace, great day sight seeing, plenty to see and ‘feel’, take some water if it’s hot. 100 bhat return to the emerald Buddha.
By far the largest and tallest Buddha I have seen first hand, its honestly very impressive in terms of its scale and size. Unfortunately it has scaffolding around it during my recent visit which took away some of the grandeur and power because you couldn't see the Buddha in all it's glory. The surrounding temples make for a nice experience all up and is still worth a visit.
