Big Buddha Temple Entrance, known as The Wat Intharawihan Temple, just of a main road, next to a 7 Eleven, not far from The Rama 8 Bridge. Beautiful Temple with a Very Big standing Budddha.
The Wat Intharawihan or Wat Indravihan is a Buddhist temple complex close to the Chao Phraya river famous for its enormous standing Buddha image. The temple itself predates the founding of Bangkok in 1782 and was originally named Wat Rai Phrik. During the reign of King Rama I the temple was restored and renamed Wat Intharam. The massive standing Buddha which is called Luang Pho To or Phra Si Ariyametri dominates the area with its 32 meters height and 10 meters width. Construction of the Buddha image started in 1867 during the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV) and it took 60 years for it to be completed in 1927.
