Description: |
|
A soaring 32-metres high standing Buddha is what defines Wat
Intharawihan, which borders Wisut Kasat road at the northern
edge of Banglamphu. Known as the Luangpor Toh, building on this
statue, built of brick and stucco, began in 1867 during the
reign of King Rama IV. Decorated in glass mosaics and 24-carat
gold, it took over 60 years to complete and is the tallest of
its kind in the world.
The Ubosot was built towards the end
of the Ayutthaya period, and has several interesting Buddha
images, elevated murals on the walls and lavishly gilded window
shutters. Outside are unusually carved sema stones and tucked
away in an alcove there's a lifelike model of Luang Phaw Toh, a
famous monk. In the small museum are old Buddha images and
various paintings.
