Wat Phra Chetuphon (Wat Pho) Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Wat Pho, or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is a particularly ancient temple in Bangkok. The temple is located next to the south side of the Grand Palace. A stroll through the temple shows how each building is expertly crafted. The towering stupa, the red-roofed temple, and the temple with a red, green, and gold Thai-style curving roof are amazing. The temple is famous for two reasons. One is the large reclining Buddha on the altar in the temple. The iron-cast statue is 46 meters long and 15 meters high. The statue is gilded and adorned with gems, and almost occupies all of the space in the Great Hall. The other reason why the temple is famous is because you can enjoy an authentic traditional Thai massage here.

Tourist spot but the temple continue to serve its religious purposes. Awesome and clean place. DO NOTE: WEAR PROPER ATTIRE (long pants) Bunch of tuk tuk will be outside waiting for you. No worries about not getting any transport.
It is really a beautiful temple with a remarkable inspiring reclining Buddha that draws your spirit away from your daily routine. It is a must visit attraction in Bangkok.
We had our recent trip to Bangkok and visited the reclining Buddha at Wat Pho. it was such a very cultural and nice experience!
A complex of beautiful Buddhist temples with Buddha’s of various sizes including the reclining Buddha. it also has a few small museums/ information centres that give further information on the birth and techniques of Thai massage and the school for Thai massage therapists is also within this complex. But more interesting than the Buddha’s are the much smaller statues in the surrounding greenery and they are in massage poses. there’s a small shop selling much needed drinks and ice creams and the usual trinkets. and of course a fortune teller. if you’re lucky you see beautifully dressed local Thai ladies of all ages in their ‘Sunday best’. This temple/school complex is well worth the 200 Bhat entrance fees. They provide skirts and shawls for free for those entering in sleeveless tops and above knee outfits.
Lofo City is a magnificent and great Buddha in the center of Bangkok, Thailand. A tens of meters long body dug out the golden recumbent Buddha. It is one of the important gods to bless Thailand. You must see it when you go to Bangkok.
