Wat Po Temple Complex, Bangkok

Wat Po is Bangkok's oldest Buddhist temple complex (founded in the 16th century, but rebuilt in 1781), and Thailand's largest. Most tourists go to see the temple's 150-foot-long gold-covered reclining Buddha, but I preferred the complex's architecture, as it follows a rather different set of aesthetics from Western religious architecture, making it interesting to see.
