Description
Begin your journey at Wat Pho, one of the largest and oldest temples in Bangkok. Marvel at the stunning 46-meter long Reclining Buddha, adorned in gold leaf. Discover the temple’s rich history as you stroll through its beautifully landscaped grounds, featuring over 1,000 Buddha images and intricate murals. Don’t miss the chance to visit the traditional Thai massage school, where you can learn about the art of Thai massage, rooted in ancient healing practices. Next, cross the Chao Phraya River to visit Wat Arun, a masterpiece of Khmer architecture. Known for its stunning central spire, or prang, that rises majestically over the river, this temple is particularly enchanting during sunset.
