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.
After paying the entrance fee, we wanted to get off and walk to what seemed very close, but our old tuk-tuk driver insisted we get in again and drive. For a short while, we thought Wat Phanan Choeng was not the building right in front of us, until we stopped after driving 20 metres. As we were running late, we rushed in, past the entrance hall with Buddha statues plastered with goldpaper and burning candles, and arrived at a rather small door. Once we stepped through it, a quite small space opened up in front of us. Our eyes were immediately drawn towards the enormous golden Buddha in front of us. The tight space around it only underlined the vastness of this old and shiny statue.
