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
快速信息: 走进殿内，巨大的金色卧佛占据视线，脚板上的珍珠母嵌饰描绘八功德的细密图案令人忍不住凑近观看。场内还有一所著名的传统按摩学校，游客常来体验中草药按摩并学习保存数百年的佛学与医学手稿。
亮点: 院内那尊长46米、身高15米的金色卧佛让人屏息，佛像脚底3米长的母贝镶嵌上刻着108幅吉祥图案，近看能看到细碎的花纹和微微的裂纹。参观者常沿着回廊向108个铜碗投下硬币，硬币撞击发出的清脆叮当声配上檀香味，被老僧人笑称为“许愿的节奏”的古怪传统。
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.
