"The main draw at Wat Pho is the country’s largest reclining Buddha, a 150-foot long sculpture occupying nearly every inch of the building and leaving guests to observe its gold-plated form from all angles. Beyond the Buddha, an expansive compound has the largest collection of Buddha images in Thailand. The complex was Thailand’s first center for public education; people came to study its 1,360 marble inscriptions to learn about medicine, history, and liberal arts." - Diana Hubbell, Katie Lockhart
"From the market it’s a 10-minute walk north to Wat Pho, the largest of Bangkok’s Buddhist temples and home to the famous 150-foot Reclining Buddha."
