Wa Pho in Bangkok


Less famous, and much cheaper to enter, than the nearby Temple of the Emerald Buddha inside the Grand Palace compound, Wat Pho is the largest and arguably most important temple in Bangkok. Wat Pho, or Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Rajwaramahawihan as it formally known, covers an area of over 80,000 square metres. The temple is packed full of buildings, statues and other curiosities collected and built over a period of around 400 years. The temple first came to prominence during the late 18th Century when the capital of Thailand was moved from Ayutthaya first to Thonburi, directly on the other side of the river from Wat Pho, and then to Bangkok which has remained the capital ever since. Successive Kings of Thailand’s current royal dynasty have added to, altered and enlarged Wat Pho since the end of the 18th Century and it functions in modern times as both a religious centre and a major tourist attraction.

There are two very striking things about Wat Pho. The first is its 46 metre long reclining Buddha statue which, whilst only one of the over 1,000 Buddha statues at the temple, is the main thing which most visitors come to Wat Pho to see. The second notable feature of Wat Pho is that the temple is credited with being the place where the techniques of Thai massage originated. A massage training centre for the public was opened at Wat Pho in 1955 and since then a great many aspiring masseuses have come to Wat Pho to take accredited courses in traditional Thai massage.
