Thailand and its different temples

More than seven million visitors visit the city of Thailand every year because of the various attractions such as beautiful temples, great weather, rich culture and history, exotic food and world-renowned sandy beaches. The total population of Thailand is almost sixty million and the total land area is equal to France. The economic expansion is quite satisfactory in Thailand and it is 8 percent to ten percent each year. Mainly this is the reason why Thailand continues to enter the sights of Thailand property investors looking for new opportunities away from the traditional European and Caribbean markets. The domestic economic growth and tourism are the two strong grounds behind the upwardly mobile Thailand property market. It is expected that developments in both areas will contribute to a continuing upward trend in property prices. People buy property in Thailand for various reasons. The reason can be sometimes capital investments or holiday rentals or personal use as a holiday or retirement home. Sometimes people buy property to build temple. But to think in that line people should have proper knowledge about the city.

Phra Kaeo temple is situates inside the grounds of the Royal Palace. You can also see some fascinating paintings and sculptures if you visit the place. In Wat Traimit, 3 meter tall Buddha image is placed. This image is made up of 5.5 tons of solid gold. It was made about 700 years ago in the Sukhothai period but out of the fear of the invading Burmese, the image was covered in plaster. About 40 years ago the image was rediscovered and since then attracts a lot of visitors. Beside these important temples one should also visit Wat Pho, Wat Suthat, Wat Thepthidaram, Wat Ratchabophit, Wat Saket, Wat Ratchanatdaram, Wat Mahathat and the Wat Rakhangkositaram.
