Original – The Phra Phuttha Chinnarat, widely considered to be the most beautiful Buddha image in Thailand, is housed in the vihara of Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat.
Reason
Testing waters a bit with this one. It's a handheld shot, but of good enough quality, I think, of one of the most famous Buddha images in Thailand. The nominated picture shows a bit more of the architecture than Alt1 (though it still doesn't include the ceiling, as it's presumably quite impossible to get a wider angle shot with the constant crowds). This was inspired by the Eldridge Street Synagogue nom.
