Wat Pho, Bangkok, Thailand

Wat Pho, better known as the Temple of the reclining Buddha is a temple complex in Bangkok, close to the Grand Palace.
The temple was first built by King Rama I in 1788 and expanded by his grandson Rama III. Rama I had many Buddha images from delapidated temples throughout Thailand brought to the complex where they have been preserved and are on display. The temple complex has 1,000 Buddhas and is home of one of the largest Buddhas, the reclining Buddha which is 150 feet tall.
