Known fortempleChinatowniconic
Home to the world's largest solid-gold Buddha, a 5.5-tonne, 15-foot image at the edge of Chinatown. Upstairs museums tell the story of the statue and Bangkok's Chinese community. It is small and quick to see, and the museum floors are closed on Mondays, so time your visit accordingly.
