Phra Maha Suwanpatimagorn or Sukhothai Trimitr Golden Buddha Image is the largest Golden buddha Image in the world. It is a Buddha Image in the mara conquering attitude, the typical artistic style of the days when sukhothai was the capital of Thailand. It is made of pure gold. The Image is unrivalled in beauty, measuring 12 feet 5 inches in diametre and has a height of 15 feet 9 inches from the base to the crown and it weighs approximately 5 tons. Now more than 700 years old, it is a valuable treasure of Thailand and of Buddhism.
Originally, this golden Buddha image was completely covered with plaster to conceal it from the enemy then invading Thailand and was installed as the principal Buddha image in the main temple building of Choti-naram Temple or Wat Phrayakrai, Yannawa District, Bangkok in the third reign of the Chakkri Dynasty in the Ratanakosin era. When Chotanasam Temple was deserted in about 1931, the East Asiatic Company, with official permission, extended its operations into the land area of the deserted temple.
The Ecclesiastical Commission then move this golden Buddha image to the Trimitr Witthayaram Temple where it now remains, discovering in 1955 that it was made of pure gold. Reverend Phra Visutha-thibordee, the late abbot whose image is in the sitting position in front of this temple, joined in the construction of the temple building for the golden Buddha Image to be enshrined. When the building was completed and while preparations were being made to move this Golden Buddha Image to the building, the covering plaster was partly broken. Only then did the people realize that it was golden Buddha Image. Thus, it has been treasured for its historical, artistic and cultural values to this day. Part of the covering plaster is also on display inside the temple building.
Phra Maha Suwanpatimagorn or Sukhothai Trimitr Golden Buddha Image consists of serveral large buildings including a fine bot with red doors and a crematorium. A driveway, wide enought for tour buses, winds round behind the bot to a small chapel reached by ascending a flight of steps to first-floor level. Located not far from Hualampong Station in the backstreets at the edge of Chinatown, this wat is just off the Charoen Krung Road to the right from a roundabout with a fountain in the middle.

Do thai live by those statements or are thai just using those fancy words to attract and sell to tourist. With money now a day anybody can make and create anything eye candy. Just look at United Emirate, its a desert now its a jem, jew, however you want to call it.

Bangkok looks nice but what i'm more interested is the thai, the people and their attitude. Are they friendly like its says in the brochure, culture, or this is just to get me going there and provide poor service if i can't or wont spend big bucks.

Are khmer welcome in thailand or most/all thai have some sort of grudge on khmer , you can be honest i'm not going to hold anything against you, i rather hear the truth then sweet talk of nothing. Because i heard a lots of bad treatment by thai toward khmer.

Well thailand population is about 65 million, and still a third world country, even though they never been colonized by the westerners, of course Japanese imperial army might disagree. Million are dirt poor and will do anything for money, prostitutions are cheap, ladyboys are plenty, more like a dog eat dog world. Some are nice but many are not. The chance of you getting rob and kill is very high, once time Thailand crime level was only behind Mexico City. What i am saying is that, be careful when you're in the land of the fake smiles.

WE love 'em all but JEK!!!

Yeah i can understand that if travelling to foreign country one got to be careful, but with all those nice words they use in their slogan is that a trap waiting to bite on unawared tourist? Without being bias, yes bangkok is nice, but for me i'm more interested in the people and not fancy buildinds and toys. So what is your opinion, are they nice to khmer people? I think they are not but I'm not sure on that.

Come on, we are friendly and welcome every tourist. If you don't tell, we don't know who you are. SE Asian people look alike. But It's nothing wrong If you introduce yourself Khmer. Just don't be too stingy

what do you mean by don't tell? stingy? nah, since i'm just an average person i have to spend money wisely, i'm not rich like thai's people. I thought its the land of the smile? why are you talking about stingy? sure i wouldn't mind visiting your capital, they better be nice to khmer.

Most of them are not Thai citizens I think our government wouldn't be able to take care of all these poor people. And Thais are kind and have num-jai, always giving them change that's why there are still beggars on the streets. I LAO

Are you denying fact again, denying is not good for your jek brain. do you have proof that they're not thai. According to that site she's poor thai that need help. Yeah they're thai, but Jek are not. So you think those poor should be left and die on the street. thank you for sharing.
