Our wait to see Wat Pho had nothing to do with long lines, closures or any of the other reasons one might wait for something. Kathy has wanted to see this amazing statue of the Buddha Nirvana since we first arrived in Thailand (over 2 years ago). Because of a scammer tuk tuk driver we missed the opportunity the last time we visited Bangkok. This time we knew we would be sure to see it. Oh how beautiful and amazing it is!
It is hard to truly show the majestic size. I did my best with my little camera phone. You can get an idea of the size by seeing Kathy’s head near the end.
The statue was built by King Rama I in the 16th century. It is one of the largest Buddha statues in Thailand. It measures 15 m high and 46 m long!
The head and feet are beautiful in detail, especially the bottom of the feet!
The grounds of the temple are beautiful and tranquil. There are many other statues and temple buildings as well.
I especially enjoyed the lovely fountains. Wat Pho was truly the highlight of our trip to Bangkok. If you visit be sure to see it!

We were here a few months ago and it blew us away! Such a great experience – oh and we nearly got caught out by the tuk-tuk drivers’ scam too!

TukTuks! Bah! Glad we finally made it to Wat Pho and as you said. “Wow” It was breathtaking. Probably our favorite in Bangkok not counting the Drag Show at Stranger Bar. But that is for another post. Thanks for commenting.
