Wat Pho

Jan 08, 2009 19:53



Bangkok has tens of thousands of buddhist temples. This is one of the more famous. Wat Pho is known as the birthplace of Thai massage (something else I'll have to write about later...) and is home a bunch of dead kings and a crapload of Buddha images, none being more noticeable than the 40 meters (131 ft.) long and 15 meters (49 ft.) high Reclining Buddha.

We came here last time we were in Bangkok well after hours, and all we got was a nice old monk with a man crush on me. Sadly we didn't get to see the monk again, but we did actually get to see the Reclining Buddha this time so I guess it was worth the trade off.
