This is the "second must" after the Grand Palace & Wat Phra Kaeo complex. A huge site with lots of smaller buildings with wonderful decorations. The main building houses the gigantic gold Reclining Buddha. Wat pho is famous for the traditional Thai massage, too.

Well, exactly how you imagine a Chinatown anywhere else in the world. Many small shops, narrow streets, vivid, crowded (maybe a bit chaotic), colors, lights and, of course, great food.
