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.

Senthil's 7 days trip to Bangkok

I recently booked a trip to Thailand - Krabi and Phuket with Navigatio, specifically Parul. The trip planning and execution went smoothly with no hiccups. Parul was incredibly friendly and helpful, she provided suggestions but took our wants seriously into consideration to create a perfect experience tailored for us. The entire team will assist on WhatsApp and ontrip app so one can be worry free while on vacation. Pricewise, they gave us a great deal after negotiation. I would definitely recommend Navigatio for your trip planning needs.

Dhruv's 7 days trip to Bangkok

Would recommend mr lucky to everyone as he planned my trip to Thailand really well . I had to pay fees for few of the sightseeing which I feel should be clearly told in advance. Besides that everything went smooth . Also avoid a guy named Kashish as he tried to scam me over flight bookings which mr lucky handled and solved the problem as soon as he could . So yeah overall it was a nice experience.

Richa's 11 days trip to Bangkok

Great trip and nicely coordinated. The best part of the trip is their group, where all the itinerary is mentioned, and details of the trip are updated before each trip in starting, which makes international trip easy and comfortable.

Sai's 5 days trip to Bangkok

We were connected to Navigatio ASIA through Travel Triangle, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip planning experience. Our coordinator, Ms. Parul, was incredibly helpful—she understood our preferences and crafted a perfect itinerary that exceeded expectations. From private pool villas and beach stays to comfortable private cabs, everything was arranged beautifully and well within our budget. Among all the travel agencies we explored, Navigatio ASIA offered the best pricing without compromising on quality. A big thank you to the entire team! We’ll definitely reach out to you again for our future adventures.

Dr's 6 days trip to Bangkok

My Holiday Trip Review I had a wonderful time on my recent holiday trip. The overall experience was enjoyable and memorable — from the scenic locations to the well-planned itinerary and friendly people I met along the way. Every place we visited had something unique to offer, and I truly appreciated the time spent exploring and relaxing. The only downside was the hotel accommodation, which was not up to the mark. The facilities and service did not meet expectations and could definitely use some improvement. Despite this, it didn’t overshadow the overall trip, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Looking forward to my next adventure! Had a wonderful time with my family.
