Know before you go

Modest dress is mandatory: cover shoulders and knees. Remove shoes before entering the Buddha hall. The complex is large, so allow at least 90 minutes. The on-site massage school offers authentic treatments for an extra fee. Visit early to avoid crowds.

How to reach

Take the MRT Blue Line to Sanam Chai station, then walk five minutes to the temple. By river, alight at Tha Tien Pier (N8) from the Chao Phraya Express Boat. Wat Pho sits just south of the Grand Palace.
