Wat
Bang Phli Yai Klang is in Bang Phli district in Samut Prakan. It houses
the longest Reclining Buddha in Thailand at 53 metres long. In comparison,
the famous Recling Buddha at Wat Pho in Bangkok is only 46 metres long.
In addition, this Buddha image is unusual in that you can actually go
inside. On the third floor there are paintings on the walls depicting
moments from the Buddha's life as well as scenes depicting a Buddhist
hell. A rather special shrine inside is for the Buddha's heart.
