Reclining Buddha and Temple of the Dawn
On the same day as The Emerald Buddha, we visited Wat Pho (The Reclining Buddha). Inside a large building is a giant gold Buddha lying on his side. In some of the corners of the picture you can see
some people for perspective.
After that, we took short ferry ride across the river to Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn). We saw the temple at sunset. It was no where near as beautiful as the one at Phnom Bakheng, but it was nice.

Such amazing photos and great commentary!
I wonder what the reclining Buddah would think of the kickboxing boys? Those two images demonstrate the two ends of the spectrum...I guess all cultures have a similar dichotomy, eh? In the US it's pretty clear we have multiple levels of culture...different strokes for different folks.
