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.

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.

Ashish's 7 days trip to Bangkok

Our June vacation to Phuket was thought, planned and executed in less than a week and Navigatio team played a vital role in formalising it. I have been to other international destinations for family vacation and have always planned and booked itineraries on my own but this was the first time I relied on a travel agency. I must say that I was extremely satisfied with the good support and flawless execution, with well coordinated day trips, transportations, providing me-time, safety, adventure and fun without any stress. Their local app was icing on-the-cake, which had live chat support, and not to forget that Mr Tarun, Ms Parul alongwith Ms Nikita were always available for support. Our out-of-itinerary requests too were well factored in and improvised to our satisfaction. Thank you Navigatio team for making this a wonderful, flawless and most importantly fun family trip without any stress!! Cheers to the good work … Phi-phi, James Bond islands and city tour with good time spacing

Rajagopalan's 6 days trip to Bangkok

Wonderful Thailand Trip! My parents had an amazing week in Bangkok and Pattaya, all thanks to our travel agent Navigatio’s excellent planning! Everything—from hotel bookings and transfers to sightseeing and local tips—was perfectly arranged. The itinerary was well-balanced, and we especially enjoyed the Coral Island tour and temple visits. The service was smooth, responsive, and stress-free throughout. Special mention to Sunny Singh ( Thailand ) , Tarun and Srinikita for the coordination and regular check . Highly recommended for anyone planning a Thailand getaway!

Varshikaagarwal's 6 days trip to Bangkok

Our overall trip was just fabulous. The only area of improvement was the resort in Phuket. The outer area of the reception till the pool was very Stinky n dirty. The breakfast menu was the same for all four days. No other flaw was there in the entire trip.. Thanks. The pakasai resort at krabi and the fantasea show
