The only large bronze Buddha statue in the country

Phra Mongkhon Bophit is a large Buddha statue cast from bronze, the only one in Thailand. It is lacquered and gilded with a brick core and the outer surface is covered with bronze, made into sections welded together. It is 12.54 meters high and 4 wa wide. It is assumed to have been built during the reign of King Chairacha around 2081. It was originally enshrined outdoors. Later, during the reign of King Songtham, he ordered it to be moved to the southwest of Wat Phra Si Sanphet. #VisitAyutthaya #MakeMeritAndWorshipTheBuddha #WatMongkhonBophit
