Drop by the Temple of the Golden Buddha and bask in the marvelous sight of the world’s largest gold Buddha image. It used to be covered entirely with plaster to conceal its real value from Burmese invaders, but the statue was accidentally discovered when it was dropped, which revealed the solid gold underneath its casing. Take a stroll through Bangkok’s Chinatown to find the iconic white-and-gold edifice, which is home to the 15-feet-tall statue made out of 83% pure gold.

Sensō-ji (金龍山浅草寺, Kinryū-zan Sensō-ji) is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Tokyo, Japan. It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant. Formerly associated with the Tendai sect of Buddhism, it became independent after World War II. Adjacent to the temple is a five-story pagoda, the Asakusa Shinto shrine,[1] as well as many shops with traditional goods in the Nakamise-dōri. When we went there there’s a lot of people. If you have kids and still riding a stroller, they have a lift so you can enter the temple. I will recommend this place.
