Here’s Thailand’s largest reclining Buddha, measuring in a 45 meters long. He lives at Wat Po, Bangkok’s oldest temple, which predates the city itself. That he is reclining means that his earthly time, all that sitting and smiling, is at an end; he’s gotten it right and is about to enter Nirvana. I hope Nirvana is large, because this guy is, to put it in perspective, larger than the boat upon which I work and, being made of gold painted plaster covered brick, heavier as well.
