When You Are In Thailand, Let's Visit Wat Pho

in #travel6 years ago

Around 9 am, I ordered Grab bike (an online transportation). I had to say thanks for this transportation application, which can help the traveler to get transportation assistance, even though sometimes the price is quite higher compared to public transportation. Like today, I have to pay 150 THB (around 450 rupiah) to get to Wat Pho, a famous destination in Thailand. Actually, to get here, I can use train or bus, but I only had limited time.

I needed an hour to arrived at Wat Pho.
"Is it Wat Pho gate?" I asked the tuk-tuk driver, a public transport in Thailand that looks like a bajaj.
"Yes," he replied simply and showed me direction.

When I entered the gate of Wat Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhlaram Ratchaworamahawihan or better known as Wat Pho, I immediately turned left to pay an entrance ticket for 100 THB. Then, I entered the row of Buddhist temples . I took photos and asked other people to take pictures of me in this place.

After getting some photos, I looked for the location of Reclining Buddha. The location is right on the side of a small temple where many people pray.

To enter this Buddhist Reclining location, I had to remove the footwear stored on the front. After entering, the statue looks as high as 15 meters and extends up to 46 meters. This statue is the largest statue in Thailand. Rows of sturdy pillars with ethnic ornaments surround Reclining Buddha.

Once satisfied around Reclining Buddha, I went out. I saw some souvenir shops for a moment, still inside of Wat Pho. Then, I saw the time on my phone, "I must go to Wat Arun soon," I said silently.
