Chatchar will take us to one of Bangkok’s oldest temples, Wat Pho, on Rattanakosin Island. Its name refers to the monastery of the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India where Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment.
Wat Pho is home to more than one thousand Buddha images and is Thailand’s first university and a center for traditional Thai massage.
Phra Chedi Rai is one of Wat Pho’s famous structures. It contains the ashes of members of the royal family
Another famous structure of Wat Pho is the reclining Buddha was built by Rama III in 1832. The image of the reclining Buddha represents the entry of Buddha into Nirvana and the end of all reincarnations.

The market researches its busiest time before dawn when boats and trucks arrive with flowers from nearby provinces.
