Wikipedia: Wat Pho, also spelled Wat Po, is a Buddhist temple complex in the Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand. It is on Rattanakosin Island, directly south of the Grand Palace. Known also as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, its official name is Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Rajwaramahawihan.
Phra Maha Chedi Si Rajakarn is a group of four large stupas, each 42 metres high. These four chedis are dedicated to the first four Chakri kings. The first, in green mosaic tiles, was constructed by Rama I to house the remnants of the great Buddha from Ayuthaya, which was scorched to remove its gold covering by the Burmese. Two more were built by Rama III, one in white tiles to hold the ashes of his father Rama II, another in yellow for himself. A fourth in blue was built by Rama IV who then enclosed the four chedis leaving no space for more to be built.
Dan katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): Segala puji tertentu bagi Allah (yang melimpahkan nikmat-nikmatNya yang tidak terhitung), Dia akan memperlihatkan kepada kamu tanda-tanda kekuasaanNya supaya kamu dapat mengetahuinya (dengan jelas nyata) dan Tuhanmu tidaklah lalai akan segala yang kamu lakukan. (93) Quranul Karim, An-Naml. 27:93

I think this building's official name is the Hubert H. Humphrey Building, but it displayed prominent Make America Healthy Again branding when I passed by.
Another infrared / cloudy day shot. The colorful MAHA banners really contrasted with the Brutalist architecture, though that is unfortunately lost in the infrared photo.
