This photo of the main Buddha image in Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat doesn't capture its full radiance. Many Thais think this is the most beautiful rendition of Lord Buddha in the country.

Thais typically will wai (i.e., put their hands together in a prayerful gesture of respect towards) images of Lord Buddha, but in cases like this Buddha-lined street, the images weren't necessarily meant for individual reverence the way, say, the large Buddha in a main temple structure typically is.
