I visited Wat Pho, one of the three major temples. This temple is famous for its Reclining Buddha, and it’s no exaggeration to say that I came here specifically to see this golden statue. However, there are many other highlights as well, including numerous golden Buddha statues, pagodas, and murals. I would like to do more research and visit again next time.

They do have some scarfs for if you are not properly dressed. There are some small venders close to the ...

This place is just amazing, there is a small cost to enter but it is definitely worth every baht.

Do wear easy to takeoff shoes, because you are not allowed to w...
