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.

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