Название: Wat Pho, Bangkok Wat Pho is the largest and oldest temple complex in Bangkok, and along with the temmple of the royal palace the most visited. The sprawling complex covers a huge area and it is quite easy to lose oneself within it's series of courtyards, gateways and stunning temple buildings. The present complex largely dates back to 1788, having been founded in response to the sacking of the former capital Ayutthaya by the Burmese in 1767 where a similar complex was destroyed. It is known as a place of learning and has a renowned school of Thai massage within the site. The temple complex is entered through one of many gateways guarded by huge Chinese statues, believed to have been imported as ballast on ships trading with China..The outer gates have fierce warrior figures, whilst the inner courtyards have the bizarre 'farang' ('foreigner') figures with their peculiar 'top hats', believed to represent the first European visitors to the east. Many of the inner courtyards are surrounded by a cloister containing over 400 sculptures of the seated Buddha, whilst the main Bot, the spiritual nucleus of the temple, is beautifully decorated within with frescoes of rich landscapes in red and gold. The biggest and most spectacular attraction of the temple however is the Hall of the Reclining Buddha, housing an enormous gilded recumbent figure of the Buddha over 160ft long, filling the entire centre of the chamber. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wat_Pho
