WAT PHO

Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang Phra Nakhon Bangkok

See route

🕚 Daily from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

The temple was built by King Rama I and is the oldest in Bangkok. It has long been considered a place of healing, and was famous centuries ago for its pharmacy and as Thailand's first "university"-both established by King Rama III. You can get a Thai or foot massage at the traditional medical school on the premises, but the prices are significantly higher than what you will find at massage parlors elsewhere in the city.
