As you walk these hallowed grounds, you’ll discover the rich history behind the temple’s artwork, its sacred artifacts, and more. You’ll also hear about ancient kings, battles between supernatural forces, and Buddhism’s origins.

After booking, check your email to download the separate Audio Tour Guide App by Action, enter your unique password, and access your tour. These steps require good internet/Wi-Fi access. From there, follow the audio instructions and the route.

What makes Wat Pho Reclining Buddha Self-Guided Audio Tour (entry not incl.) a unique experience ?

Wat Pho, or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, is best known for the immense Buddha statue for which it is named. The statue, which depicts the Buddha at the moment of his death and ascension to nirvana, is about 150 feet long and 50 feet high, absolutely dominating the room. As you admire the impressive sculpture, you’ll learn all about the profound significance of this depiction, as well as the importance of Buddhism within Thailand.

Note: This 0.1+mile-long tour covers the essentials of Bangkok’s Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho) in 1-2 hours

This raised garden is most famous for the Bodhi tree. It is under a Bodhi tree that Buddha sat and meditated as he awaited enlightenment.

This elaborate structure is beautiful on the outside but contains something extraordinary inside: A collection of the earliest Buddhist teachings known as the Tripitaka. Beyond the mondop there are three pavilions featuring murals that depict the epic of Ramayana, which you can learn more about as you admire the artwork.

Phra Ubosot is the ordination hall, the most sacred structure in Wat Pho. An impressive Buddha statue made from gold-copper alloy looks across the hall, and subtle symbols appear on almost every surface. As you explore the hall, you’ll learn how to understand the meaning behind these symbols.
