Temple Wat Pho, in the common people the temple of the "Reclining Buddha" - the largest and oldest in Bangkok. That is why it is worth visiting, the temple is worthy of your attention. Just think - more than 1000 Buddha images on the territory of the temple, a huge 46-meter statue of the reclining Buddha, a large area with many buildings, statues, even a pond and a small waterfall inside. You can not resort to the services of guides - you can easily walk around the entire territory on your own. Take care of hats and water - there is a lot of walking, there is practically no shade, the sun is hot ...The main rule for visiting the temple is proper clothing (shoulders and knees covered), in all temples capes are offered if you suddenly find yourself in the wrong clothes. There is an interesting tradition in the temple - around the perimeter there are such iron vessels into which you need to throw coins.
It is believed that if you walk around the Buddha and throw coins into all the vessels, you will be lucky, and you can also make a new wish with each coin thrown.
