    Never miss this place when you are in Bangkok. I get off at BTS Saphan Taksin station, then walk about 5 minutes to Central Pier. Take Express boat of local line and get off at N8 Tha Tien pier; you can buy the ticket on the boat, the price form Central Pier to N8 is 9B.

    The most important thing that you must to experience is the Thai Traditional Massage School.

    Wat Pho's famous
    reclining buddha
    by idy
    Originally built in the 16th century, Wat Pho is Thailand's largest and oldest temple. It features Thailand's largest reclining buddha (46 metres long and 15 metres high) and also houses the country's largest collection of buddha images.

    The temple was almost completely rebuilt by King Rama I in 1781. Today, it is also the national headquarters for the teaching and preservation of traditional Thai medicine.

    Visitors should get a massage at Wat Pho's massage school at the eastern end of the compound. It costs about 180baht for an hour-long massage or 100baht for a 30-minute session. Wat Pho-trained masseurs and masseuses are highly regarded for their technique and expertise.

    An entrance fee of 20baht is charged. It's open daily from 8am to 5pm. The ticketing booth is closed daily from 12pm to 1pm.

    Go to Wat Pho which is very near the Grand Palace compound. There you'll find the leaning buddha.

    My ex-girlfriend and I visited this wonderful site on my second trip to Thailand. My brother and I arrived too late to see it on my first one.
    The whole site that includes the Reclining Buddha is amazing. There are many temples and shrines to see before you even get to the Buddha. There are also many statues and fish ponds that are very nice to look at, while you walk around the grounds. There is also a shop to by gifts and postcards if you wish.
    The Reclining Buddha is something you have to see to truly enjoy, the size and beauty of it were spectacular.
