About
Schnelle Fakten: Goldene Flächen blenden im warmen Licht, während eine 46 Meter lange liegende Buddhastatue mit kunstvollen Perlmuttintarsien auf den Fußsohlen die Blicke fesselt. Mehr als tausend bemalte Wandtafeln und über hundert Stupas erzeugen eine überwältigende Detailfülle, zudem gilt die dort ansässige traditionelle Thai-Massage-Schule als eine der ältesten im Land.
Highlights: Die liegende Buddha-Statue misst 46 Meter in der Länge und 15 Meter in der Höhe, ihre Fußsohlen sind mit exakt 108 kunstvoll eingelegten Perlmuttmotiven verziert. Wenn du an den 108 Bronzetellern Münzen klimperst, riechst du Sandelholz und Räucherkerzen, hörst das leise Glockenspiel und fühlst plötzlich, wie die jahrhundertealten Rituale noch sehr lebendig sind.
Insider tips
- Dress respectfully, cover shoulders and knees, and carry a light scarf for hotter days.
- Get there at opening to beat tour buses and the midday heat.
- For unbroken full-length photos, use the north viewing platform facing the Reclining Buddha's head.
- Book a session at the Wat Pho Thai Traditional Massage school on-site, payments are usually cash and bookings are done in person.

4.5Arrived at 8am with almost no line. 200 THB entry was worth it for the Reclining Buddha and murals, avoid the touristy stalls.
Came at 3pm and it was packed with tour groups, ticket line took 30 minutes. 200 THB felt steep, the Reclining Buddha is stunning but bring patience.
