Buddhas in Bangkok


The Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho is 130 feet long, 45 ft high and is passing into nirvana. 


Reclining Buddha's feet are inlaid with mother of pearl


Nine Buddhas from the nine empires.  


Buddhas around every bend


And in every corner 


Collection of gables


Bird lady is my personal favorite
