After the fiasco of forgetting my SD card at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, I made sure not to repeat the same mistake the next day at Wat Pho – a temple famous for the giant reclining Buddha it houses.
In contrast to the Grand Palace, Wat Pho was downright peaceful (which may have been due, in part, to me getting there pretty close to 8am when it opens).
My takeaways: this place is covered head to toe in gold. As my friend Weng put it, it’s bedazzled, and I can’t get “I love goooold” from Austin Powers in Goldmember out of my head.

I love the photos! Especially the sepia/gold one with the standing buddhas. I also like the one that shows the bottom of his feet – massive!
Thank you! He is MASSIVE!
Incredible photos Ava!
Thank you
Wow wow wow. Really stunning shots Ava. I’m so excited to be visiting Thailand next month for the first time – posts like this make me even more so!
That’s quite the compliment coming from a great photographer like you!
Beautiful photos! Reminds me…a little…of our China adventure. Very impressed by your tenacity and frugal nature. Much Love, Joyce
Thanks Joyce
Really impressive. Can’t wait to see this!

Awesome photos – The Buddha is massive!
Thanks much, and yes, he is!
Sometimes I wonder how in the world you can take such beautiful photos.
Wow, thank you!
I think these are some of the best photos of yours I’ve seen!
These are my faves too. I have some good stuff to come from the White Temple in Chiang Rai! Stay tuned
