The entry fee is 300 THB for foreigners, but visitors find it worth the price for the experience.

Go on a guided walking tour of Bangkok’s must-see temples, Wat Pho and Wat Arun. See the famous Buddha statue at Wat Pho and the majestic Wat Arun, locally known as Wat Chaeng.

Visiting the Temple of Reclining Buddha at 8AM allowed me to enjoy minimal crowds and capture great photos of this stunningly beautiful temple. The entry fee for foreigners is 300 THB, but it is definitely worth it for the 1-2 hours you can spend exploring the grounds and admiring the architecture. Pair your visit with a trip to the royal palace or Wat Arun for a full day of cultural exploration.

The Temple of Reclining Buddha offers a serene and enriching experience away from the bustling crowds of other popular temples in

Beautiful temples and very famous for Reclining Buddhas. The location is close to the Grand Palace so it can be reached on foot. Ticket prices for 200 Baht include mineral water

Wikipedia Wat Pho

Wat Pho (thailändisch วัดโพธิ์) ist ein Königlicher Tempel Erster Klasse, ein buddhistischer Tempel (Wat), der im Zentrum der historischen Altstadt von Bangkok (siehe Rattanakosin) liegt, unmittelbar südlich des Königspalastes. Sein offizieller Name ist Wat Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Ratchaworamahawihan (วัดพระเชตุพนวิมลมังคลารามราชวรมหาวิหาร), Einheimische nennen ihn aber noch immer Wat Pho nach seinem historischen Namen Wat Photharam, welcher an das Kloster des Bodhi-Baumes in Bodhgaya erinnern soll.

Da Wat Photharam bereits in der Ayutthaya-Chronik zur Regierungszeit von Phra Petracha erwähnt wurde, dürfte er bereits im 17. Jahrhundert gegründet worden sein. Zur Gründung seiner neuen Hauptstadt Bangkok restaurierte und erweiterte König Rama I. den Tempel (das dauerte von 1789 bis 1801) und gab ihm den heutigen Namen. Auch alle weiteren Könige der Chakri-Dynastie erweiterten und restaurierten ebenfalls diesen Königlichen Tempel (Wat Luang).
