At Wat Pho, Bangkok

The first image is Wat Phra Kaew [Temple of the Emerald Buddha] as viewed from the Grand Palace grounds, the 2nd is a building at the Grand Palace. The «emerald» Buddha is actually made from jade/jasper and not emerald..... The others photographs are from Wat Pho [famous for the massive Reclining Buddha which is 15 mtrs high at 46 mtrs long, and the 1000's of other Buddha images].
