We went to many different Buddha Temples during our trip in Thailand. 
First we went to the reclining Buddha in Bangkok. It's pretty famous. It's called the "Wat Pho." 
We also saw a big (fat) Buddha. He is the happy Buddha. I guess food makes him happy.

Up in Sukhothai we saw many, meditating Buddhas. We also went to see the "diamond-eyed" Buddha. I think he had plastic diamonds in his eyes. That was lame. The priest there was nice though. 
He taught us how to pray the Buddhist way. You bend down five times in front of the Buddha. One for each of the five senses (seeing, smelling, tasting, hearing and feeling.) That was the best part of that Temple. 
We saw a really old Temple too! This one is even in our Thailand Guidebook. He is a mediating Buddha called, "Wat Si Chum." His is very big and his fingers are very long and thin.Most of these temples are in Sukothai or Bangkok. It was neat and cool to explore them and the ruins around them!

It is extremely disrespectful to have your photo taken before The Buddha. Please research the customs of a culture before you visit.
Thanks for reading and for your feedback. We've probably made a few mistakes along the way, but have always worked hard to learn about the different places we visit and listen to the many wonderful people we meet. Certainly no disrespect was ever intended.
