It is a very unique temple, as it is the only one with a reclining Buddha in the entire country. The giant Buddha is a huge attraction and is very popular with tourists visiting the area.

5. Visit the Wat Pho

Located on Rattanakosin Island, directly south of the Grand Palace, the Wat Pho (or Phra Pho in Thai) is a Buddhist temple. It is also the site of a famous massage school and is a popular destination for tourists. The front entrance is modeled after a cave and there are many paintings and relief sculptures imparting Isan proverbs, Buddhist teachings and historical portraits. The temple is also known for its meditation practice, a good example of which is in the Photisankhun Meditation Hall, whose three pictures tell the story of Luang Pu Pho, a former abbot who was a highly respected insight meditation teacher.

It is not unusual to see monks collecting alms at this temple. They often wear long-sleeved shirts, t-shirts and trousers to protect themselves from the heat of the sun.
