Reclining Buddha

---

We took time out of our very hectic schedule to visit one of the most famous temples in Thailand. This temple is found right next to the royal palace and is a sight to behold. There are approximatly 219 seated Buddha's that can be found in the temple's surrounding quads and well we saw them all, along with the reclining Buddha, 46m long and 15m high.

A great day, considering it was a Sunday amd we had no church to visit.

Coins as blessings
Along the Western wall of this temple are tin 'buckets' and into these buckets you are to place a 1 cent piece to ask for a blessing, there are 108 buckets. Myself and Nats are experiencing these blessings on a daily basis

There are loads of carvings and status littered around the temple, here Nats gets a little closer with one...
