A detail of the Wat Pho Temple
After yesterdays slight eccentric image from Bangkok this was is more what you might expect. It shows some of the extraordinary details of the buildings in the Wat Pho complex .The temple is particularly well known for the huge golden figure of the reclining Buddha
Wat Pho is one of Bangkok's oldest temples. It existed before Bangkok was established as the capital by King Rama I. It was originally named Wat Photaram or Podharam, from which the name Wat Pho is derived. The name refers to the monastery of the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India where Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment.The date of the construction of the old temple and its founder are unknown, but it is thought to have been built or expanded during the reign of King Phetracha (1688–1703).
