Must see in Bangkok #1: Wat Pho
Wat Pho or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is close to the Grand Palace, in the Old City of Bangkok, and it’s a must have for any visitor in Bangkok. It’s famous for being one of the largest temple complexes in the city and its giant 46-meter long reclining Buddha covered in gold leaf. These were the reasons I wanted to visit. and I surely wasn’t disappointed by the amazing architecture and detailed design. Even if the weather was hot, we managed to take our time and take regular breaks inside where it was cool. We did not have a guide, or a map, so we just explored and followed the streams of tourists
While in the temple of the reclining Buddha, you can put a coin in each of the 108 bronze bowls along the wall. 108 is the number of positive actions and symbols that helped lead Buddha to perfection.
Tip: you have to have your knees covered, so if you don’t want to melt under the Thai sun, wear your shorts, but bring a light opaque scarf to wear as a skirt on top.
