วัดพระเชตุพนวิมลมังคลาราม ราชวรมหาวิหาร

Bangkok offers quite a few places of interest but if you are limited in time, as we were, there really are two or three things not to be missed. The Royal Palace, the Market, and the reclining buddha temple (Wat Pho or วัดพระเชตุพนวิมลมังคลาราม ราชวรมหาวิหาร in Thai). Wat Pho is the largest and oldest wat in Bangkok and is home to more than one thousand Buddha images, as well as the largest Reclining Buddha in the world which is forty-six metres long and fifteen metres high, decorated with gold plating on his body and mother of pearl on his eyes and the soles of his feet.
