Wat Pho Tempel Bangkok - The sleeping Buddha

Wat Pho is a temple in Phra Nakhon district in Bangkok. It is located in the
Rattanakosin district directly adjacent to the Grand Palace. It is also Known
as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha but the official name is Wat Phra
Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhlaram Ratchaworamahawihan. Wat Pho got its
name from a monastery in India where Buddha is believed to have lived.
Before the temple was founded, this site was a center of education of
traditional Thai medicine, where statues were made showing different
yoga positions.

Adjacent to the building housing the Reclining Buddha there is in a small
garden with a bodhi tree in the center which is propagated from the original
tree in India where Buddha sat under while awaiting enlightenment.     More about this
