A serene Buddhist space where tradition and art come alive.

Wat Pho, located near Bangkok's Chao Phraya River, is one of Thailand's oldest temples and is also known as the birthplace of traditional medicine and massage. The temple is adorned with intricately decorated Buddha statues and uniquely posed stone figures, leaving a lasting impression on visitors. Particularly popular are the Chinese-style guardian statues and stone figures in yoga poses, which serve as great photo spots. The tranquility and mystical atmosphere that permeate the temple invite visitors into a world beyond the ordinary.
