    Chinatown is one of Bangkok's busiest, most interesting (and most neon-y) areas, and is known primarily for two things: gold shops and food. Since we're not here to buy gold, the food will have to do.

    This famous temple is also known as the Temple of the Golden Buddha, and is a popular stop on many a tourist trail. It has one of the most revered, beautiful and plainly valuable Buddha images in the world. It also has one hell of a back story.

    The shining golden statue surrounded by lights in the center of the building is the shrine to Kuan Yim. The statue is an image of Bodhisatta Avalo kit esvara – thankfully, more commonly known as Kwan Im, the Goddess of Mercy. The coolest thing about the statue? It dates back to the Tang Dynasty, which ended over 1,100 years ago.
