10 Incredible Statues From Around The World You Never Knew Existed

Five-Buddha Statue At Wat Pha Sorn Kaew, Thailand

This incredible statue, as part of the Wat Pha Sorn Kaew temple, does not have its own name but is known among tourists as the Five-Buddha statue. It depicts five porcelain-white Buddhas, lined up and growing bigger and bigger until they reach the largest, most impressive Buddha. Some have compared the statue to a set of Russian matryoshka dolls, as it imitates the idea of each segment getting smaller and smaller.

The whole site is set on a mountaintop, about 2625 feet (800 meters) above sea level, and the surrounding landscape adds a sublime background this already amazing statue.
