The non-Reclining Buddha part of Wat Pho

There is actually quite a bit more to Wat Pho than just the reclining Buddha. It's a large complex with many buildings and many other Buddha statues.

The temple was holding a fundraiser and people would donate to write on a wax tablet and then add it to the large candles that were being made. It was interesting tomwatch, though I could have done without the man making a constant plea on the microphone.

The rest of the temple contained statues and other decorations.





History. Did you know that Thai massage is a combination of Indian yoga and Chinese pressure points?

I like this one because it's not gold





There are other parts of the complex, including a well respected massage school, but it was just too much for one day.
