About Wat Pho in Bangkok

Wat Pho is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok Rattanakosin Island in the Phra Nakhon district.

Located along the banks of Chao Phraya River near the Tha Tien Pier, the Wat Pho temple is a regular tourist hub. Also known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha and Wat Phra Chetuphon by locals, the temple is famed for its namesake Reclining Buddha. The fifteen meters high and forty-six-meters long Reclining Buddha adorned in golden leaves is incredibly beautiful.

Wat Pho is also famed for its exquisite Thai massages that are famous all over the world. A trip to the temple makes for an ideal day of relaxation. In fact, the Wat Pho massage is recognized as one of the leading schools of therapeutic massage in Thailand. The temple hosts a hundred and eight bronze wishing bowls into which tourists drop pennies to see their wishes come true. This money goes towards assisting the temple and all its monks.

The Wat Pho Bangkok houses three hundred and ninety-four gilded statues of Buddha meditating in the lotus pose. These statues have been collected from all over Thailand and are kept in the temple for preservation. A walk through the intricately decorated murals of Wat Pho leads up to the courtyard that is superbly decorated with Chinese statues and ninety-one stupas adorned with ceramics and colored tiles.

Wat Pho, Bangkok is an immensely appreciated landmark in itself. But it is also quite close to other places of great beauty and significance such as Wat Arun and the Grand Palace. In fact, the Grand Palace is a ten-minute walk away from the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. Getting a tour guide for 200 – 400 baht is perfectly worthwhile in a place with so many things to do and places to visit.

Rohan's 8 days trip to Bangkok

Overall trip was good and was a planned as per the itinerary shared and discussed with tripmad. Only issue we faced was the private travel, wherein the cars were not upto the mark . Rest the services by trip mad( Priyanshu) were good.

Rohan Saundankar Mumbai

Nithin's 4 days trip to Bangkok

Service was overall okay, we were not that satisfied with so many things and it was an unpleasant experience. 1. Bangkok City tour had only 2 places covered in that one place was skipped 2. Hotel at Bangkok was not at all good 3. There was no food nothing. We just had to just travel even for a small food . This doesn't call for any recommendations to others about your service

Hemant's 11 days trip to Bangkok

I would like to thank Mr. Manish from Pardeshi Travel Services Private Limited for the prompt response and support throughout the complete trip. The whole trip was well planned as per my requirements and needs. I would definitely refer Manish to all my friends and family members who plan to go on trips in the future.The trip organized by pardeshi travels was awesome. My special thanks to Mr. Manish & team, once aagain, who did all the planning for me and he was simply awesome. He did all the charting based on my preferences and he was in touch with me on each and every day following up for any improvements to be made on the trip. But to be honest there was nothing more to be improved in the trip. I really enjoyed it. vehicle was neat & clean, local staff very polite, best hotels booking. Will give Excellent 5**** star rating for all. River cruise and Dream world.
