Our first day in Bangkok will be spent visiting two different Wots, or Buddhist Temple. The first one, Wot Pho, is where the Golden Buddha is located. This very large, solid gold Buddha is a treasure that was moved by crane from its current resting spot many years ago during an invasion to protect it.
After visiting and paying our respects to the Buddha and temple, we stopped outside to be blessed and have our luck increased. I’ll take whatever good luck I can get.
Continuing on to our next Wot, the Wot of the Reclining Buddha, we were amazed by all the small scooter combinations on the road carrying from one to five people, plus stuff on board. Seems sort of silly when one liter plus bikes complain about overloading.
This gold inlaid Reclining Buddha is about 30 x 80 meters and is breathtaking.
The feet are inlaid mother-of-pearl.
We toured the many beautiful buildings of the Wot each one housing a different Buddha image.
