Hello Steemians, today I will show you my visit to the Wat Pho Temple in Bangkok, where I was amazed by the amount of Buddha statues that I saw and it's magnificent architecture.

We start by arriving at the temple and of course there is a entry fee. By entering the temple and just seeing the surroundings I was already bombarded with beautiful architecture and statues. I stayed there taking pictures and appreciating the beauty and at the same time reading about the temple and his history. It is very well made to take the visitor deep in to the culture and really spend some time there, not just taking pictures and then gone.

The architecture:

The statues:

Besides the reclining Buddha that I will show later, Wat Pho is also famous for its giants statues that are in every entry. There are two in each entry with a total of four entrances, very intimidating, but I guess is to symbolize protection.

All over the temple they have a series of small statues of all type.

There are a series of 872 statues of Buddhas in and around the temple, some of them are there since 1351 all renovated and well cared.

The inside of the main temple is very calm, I didn't had the impression that I was in one of the most biggest city in the world.

This is me trying to make a proper funeral for the mosquito...

At the end of the visit we passed by the reclining Buddha where I had no idea of his real size, with the photos I though it was smaller but in reality I was very much surprised. When I entered the temple I was hearing drops of metallic water, I was asking myself what was it. Even with all the people there I had this sensation of peace coming up my body.

So a few steps further I saw this donation box where you have many coins you can put in 108 pots. This passage where you have coins and put in these 108 pot one in each, symbolizes positivity and you are supposed to make a wish in each pot.

Next post I will take you to the Grand Palace of Bangkok, see you there. 😁
