The Golden Giant of Bangkok: Inside Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen•

Stepping off the local neighborhood transit, the lens moves deep into the historic district of Thonburi to document one of the most mystical sanctuaries in Thailand: Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen. In this second chapter of our visual diary, we look past the traditional tourist brochures to capture the raw, authentic rhythm of temple life. From the heavy acoustic echo of ancient Buddhist chants and local devotees dressed in pure white, to the hyper-realistic wax legacy of Luang Pu Sodh, this film explores how faith lives in the modern city. Join us as we navigate the energetic waterways, capture the local tradition of making merit by the riverbanks, and ascend to the fifth floor of the grand white stupa to reveal the breathtaking emerald-green crystal cosmos. A 35-year veteran television news lens brings you a high-definition, cinematic window into the true spirit of Bangkok.
