Wat Laem Pho, Buddhist temple in Ko Yo, Thailand

The temple features a 25-meter-tall golden reclining Buddha statue positioned next to the river, marking the entrance to Ko Yo island.

The temple dates back more than 200 years to the Rattanakosin era, displaying royal architectural elements from King Rama III's reign.

The ordination hall contains terracotta tiles with floral patterns and swan tails, representing traditional Thai Buddhist artistic techniques.

Located 30 minutes from Hat Yai city, visitors can reach the temple by taxi, bus, or tuk-tuk after landing at Hat Yai Airport.

Under the Buddha statue's feet, 108 auspicious symbols are carved, accompanied by depictions of Indra riding an Erawan elephant.
