Talk:Wat Pho

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have always heard the Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho referred to as the largest Recling Buddha in Thailand - not necessarily the largest Buddha. I can think of at least one grotesque outdoor concrete upright Buddha in Lopburi that may in fact be "larger."

Wat Pho may indeed have more than 1000 Buddha images. Whether or not this is more than in any other temple in Thailand is certainly questionable. Wat Mahathat in Nakhon Si Tammarat which has been accumulating gifts from pilgrims for decades may add 1000 amulet-sized Buddha images to its vaults on a busy Saturday. --AStanhope 04:18, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
