Wat Pho

The Wat Pho is near the Grand Palace and the Wat Phra Kaew--the largest concentration of neatly shaped, shiny buildings know to man. The ninety-five pagodas which surround it are filled with the ashes of dead folks, and the four big pagodas are in honor of Kings Rama I through IV. The complex houses many Buddha images--including one huge reclining one.

 

Wat Pho.

 

Essentially, big ashtrays, but of religious significance.

 

The reclining (and rather large) Buddha.
