Wat Pho (Wat Phra Chetuphon)

The Reclining Buddha hall closes at night, but the Wian Tian takes place around the ordination hall and main chedi group. Monks start the walk once darkness settles, and the sound of chanting rolls across the courtyards. Pick up a lotus and candles at the small table near the gate, then join the line. Keep the phone in your pocket on the inner laps. Step back to the cloister if you want a wider shot of the crowd moving around the chedi. Ride the MRT to Sanam Chai, exit toward Museum Siam, and walk to the Tha Tien gate. Ferries from the opposite bank drop you at the same spot.
