Andy and his family traveled to Bangkok, in Thailand. They visited the oldest and largest temple - Wat Po, home to the Reclining Buddha. Here is a picture of the massive Buddha - it is 46 meters long and 15 meters high. It makes everyone look so small!
Andy and Sam are making coin offerings in the next photo.




The family also visited The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew (The Temple of the Emerald Buddha). They met a young apprentice monk and saw dazzling sights. The statues are so neat!

Andy is seeing so many amazing things!!
