As soon as you enter the small space of the wihaan, the golden Buddha right in front of you silences you through its size and brilliance. But let this giant not distract you from walking around it.
As we were still standing on the doorstep, people below us were praying on the floor, and they looked especially small compared to the gigantic Buddha. In fact, the base of Wat Phanan Choeng is elevated above a human size - and from there, towers another 19 metres above the floor. Right in front of it, three heavy safes act as the inevitable donation boxes, there is a richly filled altar, and when you stand behind it, you get a good idea about the dimension of this statue: the head seems far away and small compared to the knee and hand right above you. But there is more to this temple. Walking around the base of the golden Buddha takes you past other, smaller Buddhas in various sizes - some of them very elegant, you can see worshippers rattling fortune sticks, lighting candles, orange robes for devotees... But wherever you go, you always see the golden Buddha of Wat Phanan Choeng from different angles.
