In addition to some shopping, exercising and of course eating, it was time to do also some sightseeing in Bangkok. There are many historical temples in city center and I decided to visit one of them. Visiting temple is good way to take a short break and enjoy the silence in this otherwise bustling city. Many of the temples are located next to the Chao Phraya River, so I was able to combine the temple tour with the river cruise. There is public transportation by boat available in the river, so you can use that for sightseeing the city with low cost.
There are plenty of temples in Bangkok, so which one to visit? The decision wasn’t difficult for me: if I was going to see Buddha, why not to see the biggest one? With that thought in my mind, I was going to Wat Pho which is famous from its huge reclining Buddha..

The Buddha was indeed huge one – it’s 15 m high and 43 m long
|
 |
|
And it felt even bigger as the temple protecting the Buddha was just big enough to shelter it
|
 |
|
There are also lots of other interesting structures in the area and peaceful corners
|
 |
|
And lot of interesting details

 |
|
And there are also more Buddhas – with almost 400 Buddhas the selection is the biggest one in Thailand
