Whilst in Bangkok we visited Wat Po. Wat Po houses a 46m long and 15m high statue of a reclining Buddha. It was in this position that the Buddha manifested dying and past into paranirvana as a final teaching.
The Thai's really know how to do Buddhism with great devotion, beautifying their temples with gold, mother of pearl and other precious materials. It's really stunning.
Outside we saw another unusual rainbow. This time it was circular.
This stupa is covered in many colourful tiles.
Even the roof tiles are coloured. They are in the process of building new temples at Wat Po and you can make a donation to 'sponsor' a roof tile. We sponsored a tile and wrote a dedication on the tile for people that we know that have recently passed away.
