Bangkok is a delightful place to visit. We will talk about Bangkok attractions and especially the Amphawa floating market. With each floor home to a different market street from around the world, visitors to this themed shopping mall can find themselves in Rome one minute before moving on to Istanbul and Tokyo the next. Terminal 21 is really well done; each of the floors is instantly recognizable, with such features as a miniature Golden Gate Bridge and London Underground Carriage transporting you to another world. With lots of restaurants as well as a cinema, Terminal 21 is a fun place to do some shopping in a unique mall.
Sheer luck (or lack thereof) makes this attraction special. During the 1950s, the East Asiatic Company purchased the land around the temple. A condition of the sale was the removal of a plaster statue of Buddha, but the statue proved too heavy for the crane being used. The cable parted and the figure was dropped, being left overnight where it fell. It happened to be in the rainy season, and when next morning some monks walked past, they noticed a glint of gold shining through the plaster. The coating was removed, revealing a 3.5 m Buddha cast from 5.5 tons of solid gold. All attempts to trace the origin of this priceless statue have so far failed, but it is assumed to date from the Sukhothai period, when marauding invaders threatened the country and its treasures, and it became common practice to conceal valuable Buddha figures beneath a coating of plaster. No one knows how it came to Bangkok, but here it stands available for the admiration of visitors from all over the world.
