🌿 Wat Pho – The Reclining Heart of Bangkok’s Spiritual Heritage

#thailandtrip

📍 Address: 2 Sanam Chai Road, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok, Thailand

Wat Pho is one of Bangkok’s most iconic and oldest temples, home to the colossal Reclining Buddha stretching 46 meters in gold leaf serenity. The atmosphere hums with incense and history, where vibrant murals, meditation halls, and rows of serene Buddhas offer a window into Thailand’s rich spiritual traditions.

Beyond its beauty, Wat Pho is also the birthplace of traditional Thai massage, still practiced in the temple’s own school — a healing art passed down for generations.

🧭 Tips for Visitors:
• Visit early to enjoy a quieter, more contemplative experience.
• Modest dress is required — cover shoulders and knees.
• Don’t miss the 108 bronze bowls behind the Buddha for luck offerings.
• Pair your visit with nearby Grand Palace and Wat Arun for a full-day temple tour.
