 The giant standing Buddha
at Wat Intharawihan by SWFC_Fan,
4 more photos
This temple is dominated by the 32 metre high Buddha image that towers over the buildings below it, and is quite a spectacular sight!
Entry to Wat Intharawihan is free and you will have no problem finding a tuk tuk driver willing to drive you there and wait around while you take your photographs. It seemed that every tuk tuk driver and tout that stopped me in Bangkok recommended a trip to see the “giant standing Buddha”.
Surprisingly, the giant standing Buddha received very little coverage in my guidebook and so I was completely unaware of it until the tuk tuk driver offered to take me there.
As well as the giant Buddha, there are a host of smaller Buddha icons standing at his feet.
At the entrance, a man was trying to sell small bird cages with 2 or 3 birds in them (90 Bahts / approx. 1.50 GBP). The idea was to purchase a cage and then stand at the base of the giant Buddha and release the birds. It all seemed a bit cruel to me, and I didn’t like to think of somebody profiting from such practices, so I declined a cage.

 large Buddha in
Banglamphu by trisanna
Usually tourists see a few of the biggest and impressive wats(not saying this one ins't). Anyway, on my third trip to Bangkok we went to see this one and felt this should be on any tourist's list of things to see and do.
Located on the edge of the Banglamphu area. Leave a Comment Phone: 66-(0)2 2817810Directions: Bang Khun Phrom Sub-District, Phra Nakorn District, near by newly open Rama VIII bridge and Bank of Thailand. Take river taxi to Tha Thewet pier
