Wat Pho is located to the south of the Grand Palace. It was built by King Rama I of Thailand in 1793. The temple enshrines a unique large reclining Buddha. Wat Pho is the largest and oldest Buddhist temple in Thailand.The Wat Pho is regarded as the first private education center, and therefore it also enjoys the reputation of "the first university in Thailand".

In addition to many restaurants on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Thailand, there are also many temples. We first took the MRT – BTS line to the last station Saphan Taksin (Saphan Taksin) on the same day, and then followed the crowds. Not far from the terminal, you can see the ticket gate of the cruise ship. Generally, tourists will buy the so-called sightseeing ticket. Once there is an unlimited number of rides on the same day, there are piers anchored at the temples along the coast.
In fact, you don’t need to buy a so-called sightseeing ticket, because just like the locals, riding a yellow, blue, or brown flag marked boat can be very integrated into the context of local people’s inheritance from school to school and class.In addition, the local fare is about 15 baht for a stop and the sightseeing ticket is 100 baht, believe me!The weather is very hot, it is unlikely to finish all the temples, just buy the general ferry ticket obediently!
After deciding the distance between stations, choose and invest money according to the above steps, and you will have a MRT card!It's the same as the Taipei MRT! ^^
The third is a MRT advertisement for a local hotel in Bangkok, which is beautifully shot and makes people really want to experience it.
"One-day sightseeing ticket" purchased when boarding.
There are not many seats in the cabin, but you can admire the appearance of many hotels in the back. I remember this one is the Hilton Hotel^^
After arriving at Wat Pho, there are many shops and stalls outside, attracting tourists to spend, and the eaves at the entrance of Wat Pho already have the style of traditional Thai architecture.
This is the entrance of Wat Pho.
The first photo is a statue of a god in a temple. Suddenly it feels like returning to a temple in Taiwan. I don’t know that there will be soldiers and generals in Thai temples. I thought that only the temples in Taiwan would have religious integration. Many religions and cultures are fusions. There are Chinese religious gods and gods, and you can also see statues of gods wearing western hats around the corner. It's really amazing!
Thailand treats temples as a tourism industry, and Thais don’t have to pay, but if we want to visit inside, tourists should remember to buy tickets!Do you think that this big boy is "awe-inspiring", and he dare not enter without buying a ticket.
In these temples, minaret-style buildings are very common, and the decoration colors are very colorful. From here, you can also see that the Thai people attach great importance to religion and have a high degree of art acumen!
There will be service staff at the scene, whether it is to guide the direction or take a Thai ancient massage under the shade of the trees to relieve the muscles and bones. The Thai people always give people the feeling of hard work, happiness and life.By the way, there is a famous massage academy in the temple that provides massage services. There are also classes that teach ancient Thai massage. Those who are interested can check with the staff of the massage academy.
When you go to the toilet in a local temple, remember to invest 2 yuan baht, don't rush to complain, "Why do you want to invest?" !I don’t need to be in Taiwan." Look at other people who provide such a clean toilet environment. People like me who are serious about external toilets (not even a little dirty) feel that the toilets here are so clean. Mitsukoshi A9's high-end toilets are better than others!Therefore, it is worthwhile to give a little heart so that the service staff can continue to provide everyone with a clean environment!
The solemn and sacred Buddha statue, in front of him, has the wishes of countless Thais and tourists waiting to be realized.
The Reclining Buddha Temple is said to be famous and effective for relieving pain. You only need to add incense candles and stick gold leaf on the small reclining Buddha in front of the reclining Buddha.
The colors of Thai temples are very bright, and they are usually presented in color photos. For the first time, I wanted to present the peaceful atmosphere here in black and white; but Wendy Hong photographed me from behind.
I like this photo very much myself, and I feel that Shishi will also be envious of the puppies on the side, lying down and resting so leisurely~^__^~
▲ I asked a passing man to help take a group photo, but... this... man, I know we are small in front of the Buddha, but this is too small! @@"
Seeing clusters of unknown pink flowers, dotted with solemn temples, I’m really unforgettable the amazing feeling of setting foot here for the first time. Not only beauty can be described, I will come here when I have the opportunity. !
