Viharn Phranorn ;Wat Pho, Buddhist sculpture in Phra Nakhon district, Thailand
The golden Phra Buddhasaiyas statue measures 46 meters long and 15 meters high, decorated with mother-of-pearl inlays on the feet.
The temple complex, established before Bangkok became the capital, underwent major expansions during King Rama III's reign in the early 19th century.
Wat Pho functions as Thailand's primary center for traditional medicine education, featuring an extensive collection of medicinal inscriptions on stone tablets.
Visitors must wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering the temple building between 8:00 AM and 7:30 PM.
The statue's feet contain 108 bronze bowls where visitors place coins for good fortune, creating a distinctive musical sound throughout the hall.
