Wat Traimit, Buddhist temple in Talat Noi, Bangkok, Thailand.

The Temple of the Golden Buddha contains a solid gold seated Buddha statue weighing 5.5 tons, displayed in a grand three-story marble structure.

The golden Buddha statue remained hidden under plaster coating for centuries until 1955 when workers discovered its true nature during relocation.

The temple displays traditional Thai architectural elements with multitiered roofs, mirror mosaics, carved decorations, and ceremonial spaces for Buddhist practices.

The temple opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 40 baht including access to the Golden Buddha Museum.

The temple houses the largest solid gold Buddha figure in the world, measuring 3.91 meters from knee to knee.
