# Wat Suthat and the Giant Swing

This wat is becoming more and more off the beaten path as it is quite hard to walk here from the Grand Palace.

## Why go

Wat Suthat is huge and actually one of the most important temples for the Thai people. It's large size was needed as it was constructed in the early 19th century to house the huge Phra Sri Sakyamuni Buddha image, brought all the way down from Sukhothai by boat. The outer wall of the cloister has more than 150 Buddha images lined up, and as they are being re-gilded, they are in various states of repair. Outside is an open courtyard with many Chinese statues.
