Reclining Buddha statues in Asia

Reclining Buddha statues in Asia
Or rather Buddhist countries in Asia, with focus on Cambodia and Myanmar. Alphabetical by country, then numerical by length.
China leads by longest 416 m, Myanmar hast the most > 50 m in the world. Just as for Thailand, there is a lot of outdated or wrong information on the internet. 

Here are two links that have lists and and that I used to prepare this post: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reclining_Buddha
https://thriftytraveller.wordpress.com/2012/09/04/list-of-asias-largest-reclining-buddha-statues/

Reclining Buddha statues in Thailand

Reclining Buddha statues in Thailand
There is a lot of outdated or plain wrong information about reclining Buddha statues in the internet. Here sorted by length as measured on google maps satellite image, coordinates for head. For those that are in buildings, I multiply length of building by 0.8 to get an estimate, coordinates center of roof. In some cases, I measured or calculated length (with ruler, or count tiles and multiply by length of tile). Most pictures my own. Thanks to a Farang friend for drone pictures. Some pictures from internet with link. 

See here as well, where I wrote previously about reclining Buddha statues:
