Thailand: Wat Po

Our first sightseeing destination was Wat Po.  Half of the adventure was simply getting there, as we had to take both the train and a boat.  This particular temple, or wat, is the oldest and largest Buddhist temple in Bangkok.  Its biggest claim to fame is the Reclining Buddha, a 19th-century Buddha statue that is enormous (43 m long and 15 m high).  Like most of the temples, every possible surface is decorated richly and ornately.  Everything about this temple and the grounds is impressive.
