One of the world's longest reclining Buddhas (33 meters) resides within this Thai-styled temple which was founded in 1845. The gold-plated statue is housed in the main shrine, a simple elongated rectangular building with a high-pitched roof. On display are the colourful, distinct Thai architectural motifs with sculptured creature-like ornaments and floral carvings painted in gold and rainbow colours. Images of the Buddha fill the interior. The temple was built on a piece of land given by Queen Victoria to four women trustees as a gesture of goodwill to boost trading relations with Thailand.
