TEMPLE / SHRINE
Wat Pho: serene temple grounds and one of Bangkok’s most famous sights.
This is one of Bangkok’s most satisfying temple visits—huge reclining Buddha, beautiful grounds, and a calmer pace than the Grand Palace. Go in the morning before it gets sticky-hot. Easy to combine with the Grand Palace and a riverside ferry crossing.
Old Town, Talat Noi, Chinatown, Bangkok
Ticket recommended
Go early; midday crowds + heat spike hard.
