Wat Pho: A classy way to chant into the New Year in the heart of Bangkok.

If this New Year’s Eve you want “artful tranquility” + “authentic Thai sacredness” + “a classic atmosphere that looks great and meaningful in photos” – Wat Pho is the answer.

🕯️ What’s chanting into the New Year at Wat Pho like?
• Full-scale, elegant, and luxurious; crowded but not chaotic
• Chanting follows the prayer book rhythmically, calm and mindful to welcome the New Year
• Candle lighting ceremony, bell ringing at midnight, a mystical vibe without being overly religious

🌸 Atmosphere:
Nighttime at Wat Pho is Magic Hour – lights reflecting off the golden chedi walls, perfect for photos from the reclining Buddha angle, the main ordination hall, and the classic stone walkway
(If you bring a beautiful shawl, your feed-worthy photos are guaranteed)
