Welcome to Wat Po

Wat Po is the main temple complex of Thailand. It is situated on the Chao Phraya river in downtown Bangkok. It can be reached by river or road.

 The picture cannot do the roof justice. Painted clay tiles cover the temple. Carved wood endpieces coated with gold leaf jut from the roof and if you look closely, you can see the small carved gold leaf animals also.
This is one of the "bell towers" the monks use to signify prayer time and such.
