Before You Visit Wat Pho: Every Cost, and What's Worth It

Wat Pho, home to the 46-metre Reclining Buddha and the school that made Thai massage famous, is one of Bangkok's best-value temples. There's the entrance fee, the massage pavilions, guides at the gate and tuk-tuk drivers who say it's closed. Most of them sound worth paying for. You don't need the most expensive one to have a great visit. In this guide we walk through what each option costs, what you really get, and how to choose the right time, whether that's a quiet 8 am or a packed late morning.
