Wat Pho

This trip, we went to Wat Pho or Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangklararm. The first intention was to go to Wat Phra Kaew, but we ended up walking a bit too much and ended up going to Wat Pho instead. However, since we were already here, let’s go inside and see for ourselves. The temple is spacious and what is known worldwide is the statue of a hermit doing body bending exercises, which is considered the beginning of Thai medicine. There is also a large reclining Buddha for people to worship. There is also a Buddha statue for each day of birth for people to make merit, or a statue guarding the door that seems to combine many cultures in its creation. Another thing is that this temple has a lot of cats. If you are a cat lover and want to make merit and go see a temple, I can tell you that Wat Pho is another option that should definitely be on your list. In addition, if you want to go to a temple, you should dress appropriately and wear pants that cover your knees to show respect for the place. The easiest way to get there is to get off at MRT Sanam Chai and walk a bit further to reach the temple. #Wat Pho #Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimonmangklararm Ratchaworamahawihan #Bangkok
