Wat Pho

Wat Pho, also known as Wat Phra Chetuphon, is a historic Buddhist temple beside Bangkok's Grand Palace. Its best-known feature is the Reclining Buddha, housed in a hall decorated with traditional murals. The wider temple includes substantial chedis, galleries, and other religious buildings that offer more to explore beyond the famous image. Wat Pho also has a long connection with Thai traditional medicine and massage education. A visit brings together Buddhist art, temple architecture, and a place associated with the preservation and teaching of traditional knowledge.
