Buddhism / Monks: This is Wat Pho the largest...
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is Wat Pho the largest Wat of Bangkok, and is technically the oldest too. It is also famous as Thailand's first university, and it is the traditional national center for the preservation and teaching of traditional Thai massage.The huge reclining Buddha and the most number of Buddha in Thailand.(more than 1000 Buddha) are unique qualities of that place.
