Welcome to the narrated offline walking tour of Wat Pho, the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, in Bangkok, Thailand!
Wat Pho is home to an enormous statue of the Buddha. What makes it special? Unlike other statues, this one shows the Buddha near the end of his life, laying down (reclining or “sleeping”). Not only is this position extremely rare, it’s also depicted on such a huge scale that it’s hard to capture the statue’s size in a photo.
As one of Thailand’s, most popular sights, Wat Pho is a must-visit while in Bangkok. Experience the wonder of the statue as you enter the temple. Learn about the temple’s role in Thai culture. Most importantly, understand its significance in Buddhism, and the ongoing cycle of life and rebirth.
