Bangpleeyai Klang Temple

Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang, Samut Prakan Province 👍It is an old temple built around 1824. The locals in the Bang Phli area called it Wat Klang, probably because it is located between Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai and Wat Kongkaram (Wat Yai Nu), which is now deserted. 🙏The reclining Buddha image is called Somdej Phra Sakyamuni Sri Sumet Bophit, and is the largest reclining Buddha image in Thailand. It is approximately 53 meters long, and a chapel was built to cover it later. The height of the chapel is equal to a 4-story building. Inside the Buddha image is large enough to be divided into meditation rooms. There are more than 100 paintings on the pillars and walls about angels, hell, heaven, and moral teachings. There is also a room called the Buddha's heart, which people like to come and apply gold leaf to bring good fortune. 📍Tambon Bang Phli Yai, Amphoe Bang Phli, Samut Prakan Province #Places to visit near Bangkok #Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang #Reclining Buddha
