Wat Pho

Otherwise known as Wat Phra Chetuphon, but Wat Pho is easier to remember :) It's right down town Bangkok and is the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, as you can see by the pictures.



This Buddha is forty-six meters long and fifteen meters high. He's gold plated with mother of pearl for decoration on his eyes and bottoms of his feet.









We also think that he may be the inspiration behind Marg Simpson's hair...this is his head from behind
