Wat Pho – The Temple of the Reclining Buddha

Thai Wang Road and Maharat Road,
Bangkok

Wat Pho is the largest temple in Bangkok and is home to a colossal sized, gold plated, reclining Buddha, measuring 46m long and 15m high. Within the grounds of Wat Pho there are about 1,000 Buddhas which originate from Ayutthaya and Sukhothai, two Thai cities.

Each year, thousands of visitors come to see the world's largest reclining Buddha in Wat Pho and make a wish by placing a coin in one of the pots on the walls of the temple. Or, if you want to try a Thai massage, you can have one at the temple massage centre.
