I have lived in Bangkok for some two and a half years this time, for 6 months previously, and I have visited on numerous occasions in the past. During this time, I have never been to Wat Po which is one of the 3 most famous attractions in Bangkok. The other two are, of course, the Grand Palace and Wat Arun otherwise known as the temple of dawn. I finally made it there recently and took some photos including this one of the famous reclining Buddha. Gold plated and measuring some 46 metres long and 15 metres high, it is an impressive sight. Wat Po is Bangoks oldest temple as well as being its largest.
