Wat Metta Dharma Bodhiyan วัดเมตตาธรรม Kanchanaburi Thailand 2024- Amazing Carved Wooden Statues
Wat Metta Dharma Bodhiyan (Wat Mettatham Phothiyan) Kanchanaburi Thailand
Due to its amazing 12 meter tall Guan Yin Bodhisattva statues carved in teak wood, this fairly recent temple quickly became the most famous Chinese temple in Kanchanaburi.
The covered courtyard which welcomes you does not suggest what you are going to discover inside: a hall with all the partitions and ceilings in carved teak wood. In the middle of which enthroned, back to back, are the 4 statues of the chinse goddess with 18 arms and a thousand smaller arms with a thousand eyes.
In the peripheral corridors, dozens of unique statues are also made of carved wood. Wat Mettatham Photiyan is set to expand to accommodate even more statues. Hundreds more are already stored to the right of the main hall and are waiting to be installed in the new temple buildings.
In addition to one of the most amazing wooden statues you will ever see the temple is currently building a 165 meter tall, with a base of 108 meter, Buddha Statue. It’s estimated to be completed in the next 4 years. This will be the tallest Buddhist statue in Thailand and among the tallest in the world.
Located 23 kilometers by road from Kanchanaburi it’s a little ways out of town but well worth the visit. The drive through the countryside is great and there are several other temples in the area that can be included into a day trip.
Enjoy the video!
