Wat Traimit, The Golden Buddha is a gold statue located in the temple of Wat Traimit, Bangkok, Thailand. Wat Traimit in Bangkok is known for housing a 5.5-tonne statue of a seated Buddha. The gold sculpture dates back to the 13th century and measures at nearly 5 metres in height.

At one point in its history, the statue was covered with a layer of cement kind of material and colored glass to conceal its true value, and it remained in this condition for almost 200 years, ending up at what was then a pagoda of minor significance. During the relocation of the statue in 1955, the plaster was chipped off and the gold was revealed.
