Although temples don’t do it for everyone, this post probably will ! An excellent insight into Thai culture and what’s on offer at Wat Po for the tourist looking for a ‘must visit !’ Love the scoring too !! x x

This was our last stop on a 23 day trip. Having seen many temples in Myanmar and Thailand we were not sure there was anything new to see. Wat Po was really impressive. I especially loved the mother of pearl symbols on the soles of the huge feet and all the paintings on the walls. We have a Picassa web album. Let me know if you want access to it.
