The remarkable Wat Pho or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha derives its name from an Indian monastery where Buddha is thought to have resided. This place of worship is one of Bangkok's largest and oldest temples. Probably its most renowned feature is the remarkable Buddha figure, measuring 43 m in length and 15 m in height, that it contains. This statue has been coated in gold leaf and its feet have been embellished with beautiful mother-of-pearl ornamentations. Wat Pho is also famous for the 1,000 images of Buddha and the 91 stupas that it contains. Four of the most prominent stupas are devoted to the Chakri monarchs.
