Название: Buddha Gallery, Wat Suthat, Bangkok Wat Suthat is one of Bangkok's oldest and largest temples, having been built between the 1780s and 1820s. The complex consists of an impressive wihan (prayer hall) within a courtyard surrounded by a cloister containing many seated Buddha sculptures (as at Wat Pho). The wihan contains a large gilded Buddha and fine frescoes, but in common with the other temples we visited this day we didn't get any more than a glimpse of the interior as prayer sessions for the festival of Loi Kratong were in flow. The complex also has many interesting sculptures dotted about, including some elegant bronze horses, chinese figures and the most ridiculous looking farang ('foreigner' ,ie European) statues we saw (caricatures of 19th century British or French soldiers). In front of the Temple complex is a tapering wooden archway, all that remains of the 'great swing' from which terrifyingly dangerous rituals were performed in mid air at certain religious festivals in the 19th and early 20th centuries. www.sacred-destinations.com/thailand/bangkok-wat-suthat-a... bangkokforvisitors.com/suthat.html
