Scott and I never checked out the big buddha statues in Bangkok. I’ve seen some cool photos of them though.

  This particular statue is actually quite small, and is in a huge line of identical ones lining a wall in the temple. But there are so many interesting statues of all sizes to see in Bangkok.
