Wat Pho – A Must-Visit in Bangkok

#watphobangkok To visit the Grand Palace, don’t miss Wat Pho—it’s just a 10-minute walk away! Unlike the mostly outdoor Grand Palace, Wat Pho has indoor spaces, making it a great escape from the heat. The temple is peaceful, beautifully designed, and absolutely worth the ticket price. The highlight is the massive Wat Pho, stretching 46 meters long and 15 meters high. Seeing it up close is incredible—it makes you feel tiny! The statue’s feet are decorated with mother-of-pearl, showing 108 symbols of Buddha. Behind it, you’ll find 108 bronze bowls where you can drop coins (20 THB for a set) for good luck. Wat Pho is also home to Thailand’s oldest traditional massage school. For just a few hundred baht, you can enjoy an authentic Thai massage—perfect after a long day of exploring! ⏰ Opening Hours: 8:00 AM – 7:30 PM (Plan for 1-2 hours) 💰 Ticket Price: 300 THB (Cash only, but Thai bank cards can scan to pay. Free for Thai students with ID.)
