Destinations

Home of the Reclining Buddha and the heart of Thai tradition

Wat Pho offers a moment of sacred serenity in the city’s historic core. The colossal Reclining Buddha, wrapped in gold, leaves every visitor awestruck and humbled.

Located next to the Grand Palace, Wat Pho is the oldest temple in Bangkok where you will find the magnificent and giant 46 meters long gold plated Reclining Buddha.

Insider Insight

Visit early to avoid crowds and hear morning chants. Don’t miss the traditional Thai massage school onsite—it’s one of the oldest in Thailand and still sets the gold standard for healing touch.

If temples could talk, Wat Pho would tell stories of ancient wisdom.
