A wonderful temple. Thailand's cultural heritage is as always fascinating and awe-inspiring. The territory of the temple is quite large, it will probably take about one and a half hours to appreciate all the sights. I liked the mosaic structures in the courtyard of the temple and the interior painting of the temples and the variety of statues the most. Well, of course, the statue of the reclining Buddha looks very cool, as well as the painting on his feet. The entrance ticket costs 200 baht, also with the entrance ticket you can get a free bottle of water from the machine.

Wat Pho is beautifully built and exquisitely show cases the culture of Buddhism. Entrance fee is 600 Baht for foreigners and the last time for entry is 6pm. The place has some amazing color and symmetry and the statue of Buddha are intensely captivating. We were lucky to visit in an amazing weather with rain fall. Got stuck here since it started raining like crazy but overall a very amazing experience. Must go!

Visit Wat Pho during the Great Buddha Night is amazing.The ceremony is open to the public until 20h30. The location is fascinating with the colour of the pottery and the ceramic decoration under the best lighting. This place show the influence from multiple culture in Thai art such as Hindu, Indian, Chinese, European and Persian. It has a really beautiful Thai garden style and traditional bending tree, decorate around the area.

An interesting temple area with multiple buildings you can visit. A visit for a few hours for the thorough visitors. No food is sold inside (at least not something I noticed). A guide can be booked on site for 500 baht.

The different buildings show Buddha statues obviously, multiple yoga poses statues spread all over the place, Chinese statues, mini museums presenting the previous visits of other religions figures, massage history, large religious structures and more.

A safe, religious and wonderful environment amidst the crowded passages around. Wat Pho is a very energetic, historical place and the presence of Buddhists in this place has made it a special place for foreign tourists. This is a spiritual space, but full of color. When I was here for photography, I was very surprised by the cleanliness and beauty of all the structures in this place. If you are going to Bangkok as an active tourist, I suggest you go to this lovely place

The vibe is extremely positive here and it’s a must visit place as this is one of the tourist attraction. This place is maintained well and is neat. There’s a separate place to offer prayers and to burn incense sticks. Burn incense sticks only in the dedicated area allotted.
If you are buying a small Lord Buddha statue, do not place it down as this is considered disrespectful and please maintain dress code here as you will be asked to otherwise no entry into the temple.
If wearing clothing which has Buddha print on it then the entry into the temple is barred.
Please dress appropriately.
