Wat Pho is the largest and oldest wat in Bangkok and is home to the huge reclining Buddha.
The Reclining Buddha was crafted to celebrate King Rama III’s restoration (1824 - 51). At 150 ft long and 49 ft high it is the largest Buddha image in Thailand. The reclining Buddha is decorated with gold leaf and his eyes and foot soles are inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Very impressive in person.
