Wat Pho, or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is really an impressive place to visit in Bangkok. The scale of the Reclining Buddha statue is simply amazing, and it is very fascinating to examine the details of his mother-of-pearl-encrusted feet. The enormous size of the Buddha is really impressive. The gold coating, the delicate work with mother-of-pearl on the feet - all this I want to look at endlessly. Looking at photos and seeing him in person are completely different things, and he's even more gorgeous in person. By the way, despite the crowds of tourists, there is a certain calmness and tranquility in the temple. It was also a pleasure to participate in the ritual of throwing coins into bowls along the Buddha's back.

Wat Phr is one of the most important temples in Thailand. It is also the country's oldest public education center, a school of Thai medicine, and the birthplace of Thai massage. There is also the largest statue of the reclining Buddha in the country, covered with gold. With its length of 46 meters, the statue barely fits into the temple that shelters it. You can stroll around the complex calmly and leisurely, admiring more than a hundred intricate chedis, rows of viharas, pavilions and gardens. There is still a Thai massage school here, so do not miss the opportunity to get the highest quality treatments. 420 baht per hour. So here you can spend time both familiarization and wellness.

It's a very cool temple! There are a lot of bright lights, shiny statues, people believe in the Spirit. I liked it! You can take a lot of beautiful photos! But it's very hard to walk in pants in the heat.. this is not a negative!)
