Wat Dhammamongkol | วัดธรรมมงคล

This massive but shabby chedi (95 m high) contains a large Buddha image made of 1 big piece of jade. Inside the chedi you can take the elevator to the 12th floor. On that floor you will find dusty collections of old hand-held fans, jewellery, pots etc.. 2 floors up, the walls are decorated with silver tiles. This is the holy part of the chedi where they keep a hair of Buddha. The higher floors also offer a good view of the surrounding area. In a separate, more modern pavilion, another big statue of jade is on display. This is the Chinese Buddhist goddess Kwan Yin. The ceiling relief depicts the life of Buddha. location * website
