Reclining Buddha

Today we took a river taxi to see the Reclining Buddha. It is enormous, you read about it and see pictures in books but it is larger than we imagined. There are 7 Buddha poses, one for each day of the week. When you see a pose it relates to the day of the week the head monk, at the time the Wat was built, was born. The Wat Phra Chettuphon has beautiful statues at several gate entrances.
