"Wat Pho"

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) on Saturday said it recently presented the Amazing Thailand Safety and Health Administration (SHA) Plus Certificate to three of Bangkok’s most famous and revered attractions, the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and the City Pillar Shrine.

Photos and CCTV footage of a woman with a ski mask and dressed in black throwing five bags – each containing a cat – over the wall and into Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram, or Wat Pho Temple, in Bangkok’s Phra Nakhon district went viral on the internet, sparking heavy criticism from netizens and earning her a fine.

Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram or Wat Pho Temple, one of Bangkok’s major attractions, has launched Covid-19 prevention measures, including checking the body temperature of visitors.

A set of retouched images by renowned Thai photographer Chub Nokkaew of Wat Arun’s iconic statues wearing face masks was apparently so skilfully made that it almost resulted in him facing a criminal charge.

Deservedly, the Temple of Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho is one of the top “must visit” attractions in Bangkok, with tens of thousands of reviews on TripAdvisor, from visitors from all over the world. If there are complaints, they are about how crowded or “how hot” it can be. Good things often do not come easy!

A 45-year-old Buddhist monk was found hanged under a tree behind Wat Pho in Nakhon Ratchasima's Muang district on Monday afternoon.

BANGKOK'S Wat Phra Chetupon Vimol-mangklararm, or Wat Pho, is well known as being Thailand's original university, and now it is known for another first - being home to the country's first traditional medicine textbook.
