The Reclining Buddha is only one of nearly 400 Buddha figures you will see at Wat Pho, but it is by far the most impressive. The origin of Wat Phra Chetuphon dates back to the late 18th century and is considered to be Thailand’s first university. It still teaches traditional Thai massage. So if you are tired from a long day of sightseeing, become rejuvenated at the hands of an expert therapist.
