Templul Wat Traimit adăposteşte celebrul Buddha de aur strălucitor care a fost descoperit în 1955 când s-a rupt funia macaralei şi statuia de 5 tone şi jumătate, din aur, a ieşit la iveală din îmbrăcămintea de stuc

This temple is well known for its 3-metre tall, 5.5 tons solid gold Buddha image, constructed over 700 years ago during the Sukhothai period. Originally the gold image was covered with plaster to conceal it from the invading Burmese. The Buddha at Wat Traimit was discovered by accident in 1955 when it was accidentally dropped as it was being moved, revealing, under a casing of plaster, a beautiful solid gold Sukhothai style Buddha. Pieces of the plaster are still kept on display

Statuia a fost creată în perioada Ayutthaya (1350-1767) şi a fost camuflată cu gips pentru a scăpa jefuirii birmaneze

This three metres high, five and a half ton statue was long hidden under an unimpressive coating of stucco and plaster is thought to have been made in the 13th-14th centuries but the gold hidden underneath was only revealed by accident in 1955
