Wat Pho, or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is just as gleaming and intricately decorated as the Grand Palace. Wat Pho is a must-see! It contains the longest reclining Buddha in Thailand, the largest collection of Buddhas in Thailand, and the oldest and largest wat in the country. It is also the first public educational institution in the country. The Buddha was created in the mid-19th century and is draped in gold leaf and lays a full 40 meters long, although in the narrow temple hall it appears much longer.
