It’s cast in solid gold weighing 5 tons! The statue has a unique history. When Bangkok when established as the new capital, the Chakri Kings encouraged the recovery of Buddha statues abandoned in Ayutthaya and the northern cities. These statues were transported to Bangkok by the Chao Phraya River. During the reign of King Rama III (1825 – 1851), a massive statue of Buddha made of brown clay was installed in Wat Phraya Krai in Charoen Krung Road, Yannawa district, near the Taksin Bridge.
