WAT PO BANGKOK - Thai massage school
Bangkok’s oldest and largest temple complex, Wat Po was founded in the 16th century, when Ayuthaya was the capital, and radically remod eled between 1781 and 1801 by Rama I, who renamed the complex Wat Pra Chetupon. The area was extended in the 1830s by Rama III in his quest to establish an open-air university. This educational wonderland included inscrip tions on traditional sciences, extracts from the Jatakas, marble tablets that taught the rules of traditional Thai massage, litanies of the rein carnations of Vishnu, treatises on astrology and palmistry, illustrations on world geography, and rishi figures contorted to demonstrate control over the physical body. In 1832 Rama til con structed an immense chapel on these grounds to house the statue of the Reclining Buddha; Wat Po is often called the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.
Wat Po today is one of the more fascinating temple complexes in Bangkok because of both its mystique and artistic achievement. Crammed into the courtyards is a bewildering number of chapels, rock gardens, bizarre statuary, edu cational tablets, bell towers, and small chedis. The complex has two major highlights: the su perb hot to the right of the entrance, and the gi gantic reclining Buddha in the rear courtyard. Guides are available at the front entrance on Soi Chetupon, though their services are hardly necessary. Guides charge B150 for one visitor, B200 for two, and B300 for three. Air-condi tioned buses 6,8, and 12 all stop near Wat Po, or you can take a river boat to Tha Tien Pier. Wat Po is open daily 0800-1700.
