Discovering the Legendary Golden Buddha in Bangkok

Embark on a journey to discover the legendary Golden Buddha in Bangkok, Thailand. This iconic statue is one of the wonders of the world and a symbol of Buddha, the religious reformer. Buddhamahāsuvarṇapaṭimākara), commonly known in Thai as Phra Sukhothai Traimit (Thai: พระสุโขทัยไตรมิตร), is a gold Maravijaya Attitude seated Buddharupa statue, with a weight of 5.5 tonnes (5,500 kilograms). It is located in the temple of Wat Traimit, Bangkok, Thailand. At one point in its history, the statue was covered with a layer of stucco and coloured glass to conceal its true value, and it remained in this condition for almost 200 years, ending up as what was then a pagoda of minor significance. During relocation of the statue in 1955, the plaster was chipped off and the gold revealed. The origins of this statue are uncertain. It is made in the Sukhothai Dynasty style of the 13th-14th centuries, though it could have been made after that time. The head of the statue is egg-shaped, which indicates its origin in the Sukhothai period. Given that Sukothai art had Indian influences[1] and metal figures of the Buddha made in India used to be taken to various countries mostly during the Pala period. Later, the statue was probably moved from Sukhothai to Ayutthaya, about 1403.
