Wat Pho and Wat Arun in Bangkok, shall be included in the list of travel in Thailand. Sleeping Buddha statue with 336 layers of 18 carat gold in Wat Pho, the main attraction was amazing.
A few months ago, I had the opportunity to walk to Bangkok, Thailand. It is hidden in my mind since departed from Jakarta is a lot of temples, the Chao Phraya River and a shopping mall. Can not wait it seems, to get to Bangkok and direct around.
Not wanting to lose the constraints of time, then I get even one full day touring Bangkok. That morning, I began my journey by express boat ride on the Chao Praya River. Express Boat departs from behind the Hotel Royal Orchid Sheraton.
Before long, we arrived at the dismissal of the number 8, the Tha Tien. Off the ship, we had a little tiptoe because the river flooded river bridge ketepian. Not far from there was the dismissal of the ship's Wat Pho complex.
I was so amazed, when entering this area Wat Pho. Pagoda-pagoda is so beautiful. More amazement again is when looking bangungan in it. There is a statue of Buddha Reclining Buddha or sleep.
Keep in mind, to get into the temple there is a statue of sleeping Buddha, tourists shall remove footwear and dress modestly. Do not worry about your footwear is lost, because the officers will distribute a cloth bag to store it. There is also a cloak lend for a traveler who wear shorts.
Once inside, the traveler will be welcomed by the head of the towering Buddha. Sleeping Buddha, the length is about 46 meters high and 15 meters. This sculpture also looks very stunning with gold sparkle. No half-hearted, as many as 336 18-carat gold layer covering the entire statue.
Because of the limited space, it is rather difficult for tourists to take pictures of the whole Buddha statue. So you have to be very clever to find the angle to take a picture. So you can take pictures with the background of all this sleeping Buddha statue.
In addition to the gold sparkle, consider the part of the Sleeping Buddha statue's feet. On the soles of his feet with a length of 3 m, there are 108 symbols characteristic of Buddha, also known as 'laksanas'. Quite often, it seems some tourists tried holding the toes Buddha Statue. I do not know for what purpose, perhaps a kind of belief that luck times huh?
On the back of this statue was found a few small tubes. It lined the walls. The function of these tubes to put the money donated coins.
Once out of the temple which contains a statue of Buddha, you can see other parts of the temple. This section contains dozens of Buddha statues with different hand positions.
Wat Pho is located on Maharat Road, or the banks of the Chao Phraya River. This temple is open from 8:00 a.m. to 17:00 local time every day. With the entrance fee of 100 Baht or around (IDR 32,000,- /person).
Not far from Wat Pho, Wat Arun are looking tall. To get to Wat Arun, across the river, you can catch the ferry to pay 4 Baht (USD 1,300). To get into the area of Wat Arun, both free of charge ticket for 50 Baht (IDR 16,000).
Wat Arun or also known as the Temple of Dawn is one of the iconic buildings of Bangkok. This is one place that must be visited. The temple is situated on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River in Thon Buri.
The temple is surrounded by turrets called Phra Prang. Visitors can also climb to the top of the temple by climbing stairs are quite steep.
