Temple of the Reclining Buddha

It is located in the Rattanakosin district directly adjacent to the Grand Palace

It’s an easy ten minute walk between here and the Grand Palace. Entrance to the temple costs 100 baht

the experience tends to be far more relaxing as there are less people here

It's one of the largest temple complexes in the city and famed for its giant reclining Buddha that measures 46 metres long and is covered in gold leaf

For a little good luck, we bought a bowl of coins from the lady there.

 and drop the coins into the 108 bronze bowls which line the length of the walls

Dropping the small pennies in makes a nice ringing sound

The Buddha's feet are 5 metres long and exquisitely decorated in mother-of-pearl illustrations of auspicious 'laksanas' (characteristics) of the Buddha

I'm standing beside Buddha's pillow

Just a random shoot of a stylish Japanese guy.

A sight worth seeing for 1st timer.
