There was more to Wat Pho than the Reclining Buddha. We didn’t have time to see it all since we still wanted to see the Emerald Buddha and Grand Palace before everything closed in a few hours. But there were many Thai-style buildings, Buddhas, and interesting grounds to explore at Wat Pho.

The air was surprisingly clear for (I’m guessing normally smoggy) Bangkok. I like the way the gold edge on this building caught the sun with the blue sky background. (You can click on it for a much larger view.)

The above Buddha statue is different than any I have seen before in that he has disciple statues facing him.

Not only were the skies blue, but they had some of my favorite kind of clouds added to the mix as well. I couldn’t have asked for more picture-perfect scenes.
