Wat Pho Temple

While the Wat Pho Temple is most noted for its Reclining Buddha, there are plenty of other items worth seeing in Bangkok's oldest and largest temple. In the large grounds of this 16th century temple one can find around 100 chedi (stupas) covered with mosaics. Located in the western courtyard are four Great Chedi, which honor the first four kings of the Chakri dynasty. These impressive structures are decorated with porcelain mosaic.

While in the What Po grounds, one can catch glimpses of the resident monks, watch kids at play on the school grounds, and even get a traditional massage.
