Buddhist temple in the center of Bangkok, Thailand. Located on Rattanakosin Island next to the Grand Palace. Known for the origin of the art of Thai massage. The full name of the temple is Wat Phra Chetuphon Vimolmangklararm Rajwaramahaviharn or Temple of the Buddha Awaiting Nirvana.

Wat Pho is the oldest temple in Bangkok, built in the 12th century. Four stupas of green, white, yellow and blue colors symbolize the first four reigns of the Chakri dynasty. Next to the stupas is a traditional medicine pavilion.

The most famous temple brought the image of the Buddha in anticipation of reaching nirvana. Its length reaches 46 m, and its height is 15 m. The feet of the statue are covered with 108 mother-of-pearl ornaments that convey the individual features of the Buddha himself. The walls of the temple itself are covered with paintings that tell about the lives of seven prominent disciples of the Buddha.

On the territory of the monastery there are stone statues depicting bearded creatures in hats, brought here from China in the 19th century. They act as guardians of the temple. Near Wat Pho is a library decorated with Chinese mosaics, which contains ancient manuscripts.
