Arrive at opening in the morning to avoid the heat and biggest tour groups; late afternoon brings warm light on the gilding and fewer visitors near closing.

About
クイックファクト: 広い境内を歩くと、金箔が輝く巨大な寝釈迦像の優しい表情と、足の裏に施された細密な装飾に思わず息をのむ。境内には伝統的なマッサージの学校があり、薬草の香りや学びの声が混ざる独特の空気を体験できる。
ハイライト: 金箔をまとった横たわる大仏は全長46メートル、高さ15メートルで、足の裏に埋め込まれた108の母貝の図柄が日差しに反射して真珠のように煌めく瞬間があるよ。回廊には108個の銅碗が並び、人々が小銭を入れて願いを込める静かな儀式が今も続いていて、敷地内の伝統マッサージ学校では石碑に刻まれた図解を見ながら手技を学べるのが面白いよ。
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.
