The Temple of the Reclining Buddha

The Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho) is the first grade royal monastery, regarded as the most important one during the reign of King Rama 1 of the Chakri Dynasty. By the great restorations and additions, these were done to use this temple as the center of Thai arts and knowledge, where descendants can study indefinitely.

The Reclining Buddha, which is very well worth seeing, is the largest and most beautiful piece of fine arts of the Buddha image in this kind of position found in Thailand, with the dimensions of 15 meters high and 46 meters long. The image was made of stuccoed bricks gilded with gold leaves. The sole of the statue's feet are inlaid with mother-of -pearl showing the 108 auspicious signs of the Buddha, portraying natural scenes of both Indian and Chinese influences.

The Monastery is opened daily from 8.00 A.M. to 6.00 P.M.

Bring Peace back to Thailand

From May 19 until now, 27 burnt buildings have been seen by people who pass those locations. I am sure that everyone has the same feeling of sadness, disappointment and despair. Damages occur to all businesses in Thailand, especially tourism industry has been deteriorated and needs a long time to recover.

What we need now is the reconcilation of Thai people. And after our management, Thailand will surely become a nice country of tourist's destination again.
