Worship the standing Buddha, Luang Pho To, Wat In

#triptravelchina - Wat Intharawihan, Bangkhunphrom or Wat Luang Pho To, Bangkok is a third-class royal temple in the Phra Nakhon district. It is believed to have been built since the Ayutthaya period. Later, a Laotian living near the temple named Chao In, who was the uncle of Chao Noi Khiao Khom, the royal consort of King Rama I, carried out a major renovation of the temple. The locals therefore called the temple Wat In. - Luang Pho To, Wat Intharawihan (Phra Phuttha Si Ariyametrai) is a large standing Buddha image holding an alms bowl, 32 meters high, built by Somdej Phra Buddhacarya (To Phrommaramsi) in 2410 B.E., but when he passed away, construction was halted and resumed during the reign of King Prajadhipok, Rama VII, until it was completed in 2467 B.E.
