Experience:
Located just a few minutes walk from the Grand Palace, visiting Wat Pho is an excellent space to follow (it also stands on its own!). Though it is an extremely popular attraction in the city, the temple is much quieter than the palace and more relaxing in contrast. Walking beneath the towering chedis during the late morning it was downright deserted.
It is one of the oldest and largest temples in Bangkok, with over 1,000 Buddha images.
There are so many incredible details within this space, you can get lost wandering around the asymmetrical pathways.
Without a doubt the top sight within the complex is the enormous reclining Buddha – whose lays 150’ long and stands 50’ tall.
This monumental icon is one of the biggest Buddhas in the country and takes up the entire temple space! 
The body is covered in gold leaf, but don’t miss the mesmerizing feet made of mother of pearl.
This Buddha is entering the state of nirvana, an end of all reincarnations. Drop a coin for good luck
