The Buddha lies in its own building and you should dress appropriately to visit it, preferably no bare shoulders or shorts that are entirely too short.
The body of the Buddha is covered in gold, whereas the soles of his feet and the eyes are mother of pearl. The statue is 46 meters long and 15 meters high.
Wat Pho is one of Bangkok's biggest temple wat (sacred precinct), and covers 80,000 square meters. There are over 1000 Buddha statues here and also statues depicting various yogic positions. Indeed, the place was used for the instruction of Thai masseurs and yoga instructors before the temple was built.
Wat Pho still boasts the most famous school for massage artists.
