Wat Pho, Grand Palace, Wat Arun in 1 Day

A visit to Bangkok would not be complete without going to the famous palaces and temples within the capital. The major landmarks are Wat Pho, Grand Palace, & Wat Arun. They are close to each other, with the Wat Arun only a ferry ride away from the other two places. I would recommend allotting a whole day for these places if you're not in rush. Wat Pho - must visit because it's the oldest and largest temple in Bangkok and also houses a lot of Buddhas, including the Reclining Buddha. Grand Palace - was also huge. Honestly, since we did the Wat Pho first, we were already very tired roaming around the Grand Palace. So I only have 1 photo haha. Since Wat Pho was so huge and the architecture style being the same, I think Wat Pho is enough if you're short on time. Wat Arun - was only able to take a photo across the river. At the time tgat we visited the ferry for crossing is closed and that there's an event so we wouldn't be able to go in. Be prepared for the weather and bring lots of water with you. We visited when it was scorching hot, adding to our tiredness, we chose to just finish the day at a restaurant. #thingstodo #travel #tripblazers #bangkok #bkk #thailand #watpho #recliningbuddha #grandpalace #watarun #vacation #getaway

The Famous Reclining Buddha Hatyai

A reclining Buddha is an image that represents Buddha lying down and is a major iconographic theme in Buddhist art. It represents the historical Buddha during his last illness, about to enter the parinirvana. The reclining Buddha of Hatyai is situated at 2 Wathatyainai Rd., Hat Yai District, Songkhla 90110, the soithern province of Thailand.#hatyaitourism #mytripvlog #recliningbuddha #temple

Exploring Wat Pho, Bangkok

If you are in Bangkok this is a must visit. Wat Pho is one of the most famous temples in this Thai city and is especially well known for it’s impressive “reclining Buddha” statue. It’s riverside location makes it easy to catch the river bus to Wat Arun; a spectacular temple on the opposite river bank. Be aware that you need to wear modest clothes to gain entrance to this and most temples in Thailand; covered shoulders and legs are required, and you will be given scarves to cover up with at the entrance gate if you are not wearing appropriate clothes. The entire site is very large and can take a few hours to stroll around. I recommend bringing a fan and umbrella for shade as it can become extremely hot under the afternoon sun. #thailand #bangkok #watpho #recliningbuddha #thailandtravel

Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho

Wat Pho is one of the many Buddhist temples in Bangkok, Thailand that is also popular among tourists. Awesome architecture and art! Perfect place for photography enthusiasts. Another attraction inside this temple complex is The Reclining Buddha. Aside from wearing proper attire, you have to remove your footwear. They provide plastic bags for that but I strongly suggest you bring your own bag. Also, be ready before entering the temple where the reclining buddha is… For me, one of my unforgettable moments here is being hit by a variety of smell upon entering that building!!!! 😂😂😂 Not good for those who have a very strong sense of smell. Fun fact: This temple is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage!!!! (source: wikipedia) #prepandemic #temple #buddha #recliningbuddha #touristattraction #bangkok #thailand #thailandtravels

Naga, the guardian of the Buddhist Three Gems, dominates the waters, and is an important cultural image in Thailand, as well as an auspicious symbol in ordinary life. Meet them at Wat Chaiyamangalaran, where it houses a 33m gold plated reclining Buddha in Penang, Malaysia. #penang #recliningbuddha
