The River Kwai Bridge Week (26 Nov - 7 Dec) Held in Kanchanaburi province to commemorate the horrible ordeal suffered in the construction of the Death Railway to be used by the Japanese army as a route of supply from Thailand to Burma in World War II. The festival features a historical exhibition, fun fair, bazaar and exciting light & sound presentation. Biggest & Best The biggest gold Buddha image Phra Sukhothai Traimit or the Gold Buddha of Wat Traimit, Bangkok. Cast in 5 ? tons of solid gold in the Sukhothai style, this statue measures 3.10 m across the laps and 3.91 m high from base to top, and is the largest gold Buddhist stature in the world. It is estimated to be 700-800 years old but had been mistaken for an ordinary stucco image until May 1955. The highest mountain Doi Inthanon is one of the most frequently visited national parks of Thailand. A 47-km first class road leads from the plain of Chiang Mai (about 300 m above sea level) gradually up to the 2,565-metre summit. The most precious Buddha image "Phra Kaeo Morakot" or the Emerald Buddha, which almost all foreign visitors to Bangkok have seen or will see at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is held by the Thai people as a priceless national treasure, much more valuable than even the solid gold statue mentioned above. It was carved from a single block of fine jade across the taps and 66 cm. Sitting posture, it was 48.3 cm wide across the laps and 66 cm. High from base to top.
