- Wat Pho, Temple of the Reclining Buddha, Bangkok
(This massive reclining Buddha is 43meters long and 15metres high, nearly half a football field in length. Seeing it reminds one of the serenity and tranquillity of the temple. The 108 bronze bowls make it unique, with visitors dropping coins into all 108 bowls for good fortune, with the donations helping the monks to upkeep the temple grounds. Good to know too that the US President, Barack Obama was just there just 6 months ago. A little known fact - the temple is regarded as the birthplace of the traditional Thai massage!)
