    Reclining Buddha

    17. november 2025, Thailand ⋅ ☁️ 84 °F

    The Reclining Buddha in Bangkok is located at Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha), one of the city's oldest and largest temples, situated south of the Grand Palace. The impressive gold-plated statue is 150 feet long and represents Buddha entering nirvana. Wat Pho also houses the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand and is home to the first public university, a center for traditional Thai massage and medicine. I asked who would want to create a 150’ reclining Buddha but did not get an answer.Les mer

    Cloud Forest

    20. november 2025, Singapore ⋅ ☁️ 82 °F

    Adjacent to the Flower Dome is the Cloud Forest. Another structure to hold a very specific fauna. It also houses the world’s largest indoor water fountain. Again, as you walk along the pathways you are met with many different plants. It was a real joy to walk through this incredible structure. The Cloud Forest had a partnership with the Jurassic films.Les mer
