About
Fakta singkat: Masuk ke halaman, kamu akan melihat mural dan atap berlapis emas yang memantulkan cahaya, membuat suasana hangat saat langkahmu bergema di koridor. Banyak orang terkejut melihat patung berbaring sepanjang sekitar 46 meter, telapak kakinya dihiasi inlay kerang mutiara dengan pola rumit yang memikat mata.
Sorotan: Patung tidur raksasa panjangnya 46 meter dan tingginya 15 meter, lapisan emasnya menyala di bawah sinar sehingga detail kaki berhiaskan 108 panel mother-of-pearl tampak berkilau. Pengunjung sering melempar koin ke dalam 108 mangkuk perunggu tua sambil berbisik harapan, lalu turun ke ruang pijat tradisional yang terkenal dengan aroma ramuan dan bunyi ketukan yang lembut.
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.
