Wat Pho

Located in the Land of Smiles, Wat Pho aka the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is a must-see for any visitor to Thailand's capital city, Bangkok. Covered in gold leaf, the temple's main attraction is its giant reclining Buddha, measuring in at over 150 feet in length and almost 50 feet in height. The Buddha is so big that its feet measure just over 16 feet, and are immaculately decorated in mother-of-pearl drawings and many positive symbols of the Buddha. Not only is Wat Pho an incredible place to learn more about Buddhism, but also, it is a great arena in which to enjoy a traditional Thai massage. After a tour of the temple, indulge in a massage of your choosing, but book in advance, as this in one of Wat Pho's most popular activities.
