 Known as:        
 Description:   With the huge and grandiose name of Phra Buddha Metta Pracha Thai Trailokanath Gandhararath Anusorn, this impressive Buddha statue is in Kanchanaburi’s modern temple of Wat Thipsukhontharam. The statue is standing with its hands in the position known as “abhaya”; this posture is one of protection and fearlessness and is based on a Buddhist tale of the Lord Buddha stopping a charging elephant by raising his hand. The statue’s face is exceptionally serene. Cast from bronze and standing at more than 30 metres tall, it is Thailand’s biggest standing bronze Buddha statue.
