Wat Phra That Hariphunchai Reclining Buddha

Wat Phra That Hariphunchai Reclining Buddha

Reclining Buddha statues are not uncommon in Thailand. The most well known is the one at Wat Pho in Bangkok. That statue and a few others spread around the country of great size get most of the press; when it comes to Buddha statues, size matters. This one at Wat Phra That Hariphunchai in Lamphun, however, was a mere fifty feet long and shoved into a corner by the wat’s parking lot.
