* THE TEMPLE OF RECLINING BUDDHA (WAT PHO ) :-
The reclining Buddha at Wat Pho is The most impressive Buddha statue in Bangkok, really nice surrounding also!
Let's face it, there are so many beautiful temples in Bangkok and Thailand that there is a danger of sensory overload. This place is so beautiful that it won't help you with that problem. If you have one choice in Bangkok this is it. The Buddha statue

itself is immense. So big that they apparently miscalculated the height of the head when they built the building. However, the surrounding buildings, temples and statues are almost as equally stunning. If you have one temple to visit in Bangkok this is probably the one (but then why would you visit only one?)
ADDRESS: 2 Sanamchai Road. | Grand Palace, Pranakorn, Bangkok 10200, Thailand.
Wat Pho (the Temple of the Reclining Buddha), or Wat Phra Chetuphon, is located behind the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and a must-do for any first-time visitor in Bangkok. It's one of the largest temple complexes in the city and famed for its giant reclining Buddha that measures 46 metres long and is covered in gold leaf. It’s an easy ten minute walk

between here and the Grand Palace, and we recommend coming to Wat Pho second, because even though the golden Buddha here is just as popular many people don’t take the time to wander around the rest of the complex so the experience tends to be far more relaxing. This is also a great place to get a traditional Thai massage. Wat Pho is often considered the leading school of massage in Thailand, so you really are in good hands here. Since December 2012, entrance to the temple costs 100 baht and you can visit any time between 08:00 and 17:00.
