Wat Pho, Temple of the Reclining Buddha

My first impression when I saw the reclining buddha was the massive size.

 

The Reclining Buddha is forty-six metres long and fifteen metres high, decorated with gold plating on his body and mother of pearl on his eyes and the soles of his feet.

 

It was difficult to get good shots because there was a big crowd inside.

 

Afterwards we went to the Wat Pho Massage School to get a traditional thai massage. Wow did I feel like walking on a cloud afterwards! A definate must do when you are in Bangkok.
