Temple of Golden Buddha Buddha "Wat Po"

Bangkok oldest temple with the largest site area. It is known as the grand total length 46m Golden Buddha Buddha and the Thai traditional massage headquarters.

Founded in the Ayutaya dynasty of the 14 century, Rama 1 and Lama 3 have greatly renovated over the course of over ten years, respectively.

In the era of Rama 3, the first academic discipline in Thailand was also made, and in the precincts there is a Thai ancient massage school that inherits that tradition.

Buddha Buddha with a body length of 46m represents the appearance of the Buddha who took enlightenment just before entering Nirvana, expressing the relaxed state of Buddha lying with a gentle look.

Width of Buddha Buddha 5m Heel 3m is given a spiralwork using pearl oysters on the back of the foot, the figure, elephant and luck of 108 are drawn, Buddhistic worldview and nobility are expressed .

Also, behind the Buddha Buddha there are 108 bowls lined up, it is said that if you buy coins at the reception and insert coins in 108 bowls in turn 1 coins, the feelings will go away.

Coins are measured in grams, but when there are many coins, there are times when there are few, sometimes 108 pieces are not perfect.

Because the sole foot is strictly prohibited inside the building, those who care about dust etc are safe to have sewing socks.

Wat Po became a school of Thai massage because this temple was the first university in Thailand to gather Thai traditional academic knowledge.

In Thailand there have been massage masters in rural areas since long ago and I have been caring for people who have pain in the body by massaging them.
