I think the entire site is more grand than the reclining Buddha itself. So many fantastic temples and buildings that are worth entering, while the structure of the pillars gets a bit in the way to appreciate the scale of the Buddha.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We're glad you found the temple complex grand and worth exploring. Appreciate your insights about the Buddha and the architecture!
Very good experience with this group. We had a driver pick us up at the hotel and transport us to the site. There the driver bought us our ticket and helped us inside. I would recommend this to others.
Thanks for sharing your positive experience! We're glad the driver made your visit to Wat Pho smooth and hassle-free. Appreciate your recommendation!
Great experience. Transfer was on time and very professional. They bought us tickets at the gate and escorted us to the entrance. Highly recommend.
Thanks for sharing your great experience! We're glad the transfer was on time and our team was professional, getting you tickets and escorting you to the entrance. Appreciate the recommendation!
Amazing temple with giant reclining gold Buddha and pleasant atmosphere. Due to jet lag I left hotel at 6am to visit flower mart, then headed over to Wat Pho. I killed time watching sun on the river and over Wat Arun directly across the way. Decided to see if I could buy tickets early as planned to bundle morning sites (Wat Pho then Grand Palace) before my 10:30 food tour which would be tight since they open at 8 and 8:30 respectively. However to my delight, I was allowed in early! It was just me and giant reclining Buddha for some 1:1 time and an unforgettable experience. Within 10 minutes school buses of children arrived for field trip so really recommend you go first thing.
Wow, sounds like you had a solo spiritual moment with the giant Buddha ! Getting in early was a blessing, especially with the kids' field trip arriving soon after. Wat Pho's vibe must've been super peaceful that early.
The best ever private tour. Tigerwood helped made my The Grand Palace visit special❤️🤗 Highly recommended.
Thanks for the glowing review! 😊 We're thrilled Tigerwood made your Grand Palace visit special. Appreciate you sharing your experience!
Go in a group. Solo travelers, like myself, get left if you don't want to go to factory to shop. Then you have to find your way home.
Thanks for sharing your experience visiting Wat Pho. Sorry to hear about the group tour dynamics
Few people because visit in the morning first thing. Incredible fascinating experience of beauty, and peace.
Merci beaucoup pour ce commentaire ! 😊 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez pu profiter d'une expérience fascinante et paisible lors de votre visite matinale. C'est souvent à cette heure que le lieu est le plus serein. Merci de partager votre expérience !
Our driver was an hour late to our hotel. Apparently he got lost. I sent a msg to the office several times. First I was told 15 mins late, then 30 mins late … finally driver showed up an hour late. This is unacceptable service. We were supposed to meet other family at Wat Phob who left because we were late one hour and they were uncomfortable standing in the hot sun for us . You need to hire drivers who know their way around Bangkok. Your service is unreliable and your office unwilling to refund even a portion of what we paid. We will never use your service ever again.
We're deeply sorry for the unacceptable delay in your pickup and the poor communication from our office. Getting lost and arriving an hour late is not what we promise, and we fell short of your expectations. We understand how frustrating this must've been, especially missing the meetup with your family at Wat Phob. We've noted your feedback and are reviewing our driver training and communication processes to prevent this in future
Ideal visit around 9am, side entrance to the site, without waiting, top!! The best possible conditions ... driver even arrived early for the trip from the hotel.
Sounds like you nailed the visit! 9 am side entrance = perfect conditions ! And kudos to the driver for being early . Thanks for sharing, and glad you had a fantastic experience at Wat Pho
We were very well taken care of by the driver. The wat pho temple is beautiful. We have my daughters and I enjoyed getting massaged, unforgettable.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled you and your daughters had an unforgettable time at Wat Pho. The Reclining Buddha is a stunner, isn't it? And super glad the massages hit the spot ! Kudos to our driver for taking care of you guys . Thanks for choosing us
