Wat Pho

On Saturday, we took the sky train down to the Chao Praya River and hopped on a river taxi.


Our destination was Wat Pho, but in the meantime, traveling by river offered some great sights along the way.






Wat Pho has bearded stone giants guarding its entrances as well as scattered about its grounds.



However, it is most famous for its huge reclining Buddha statue, which Eliana couldn't wait to see.

Wat Pho has more Buddha images than any other temple in Bangkok, and probably Thailand, so Eliana was able to get her Buddha fix.





She also did her best to fit into her environs via active participation.




Even Shane was awake and into it.


The wat grounds themselves are beautiful, extensive and intricate.
