Thailand’s Biggest Buddha at the Wat Muang Monastery is an awe-inspiring 92 meters tall and 63 meters wide. Completed in 2008, this golden statue is the tallest statue of Buddha in the country. It towers over the surrounding sculpture garden with scenes from the Buddhist version of hell, images of Thailand’s gods and kings, and depictions of historical events from the Burmese-Siamese War. The enormous statue was formed from concrete and covered in gold paint. Construction began in 1990 and took 18 years to complete at a cost of nearly $4 million. It is said that luck will come to those who touch the right hand of the Buddha.
