Itinerary

  1. Learn About Wat Pho & Wellness Heritage Walk into Wat Pho and get the big-picture story behind why Thai massage is linked with temple wisdom. Your guide introduces the idea of keeping the body in balance—both through the flow of vital energy (lom) and the harmony of the four elements—so you can connect what you see in the temple setting to what you’ll learn in the massage portion next

    20 minAdmission included

  2. Learn All About Thai Massage by Pro Trainers Head into the Massage Museum area and learn Thai traditional massage from a trainer in a simple, story-like way: its roots in Ayurvedic medicine, Buddhism, and Yoga philosophy, how the four elements (earth, water, wind, fire) should stay in harmony, and how “Sen” energy lines work—especially the key set of 10 lines used in practice—plus the legacy of Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha honored through Wai Khru

    20 minAdmission included

  3. The most famous attraction at Bangkok's Wat Pho (Temple of the Reclining Buddha) is its massive Buddha statue. This golden Buddha, measuring 46 meters in length and 15 meters in height, features mother-of-pearl inlay work depicting 108 auspicious patterns on the soles of its feet.

    2 hAdmission included

About Bangkok

Bangkok is Thailand's exuberant capital, where gilded temples and royal palaces line the river amid street-food stalls, markets and skyscrapers.

The Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew, home of the revered Emerald Buddha, glitter on the old royal island of Rattanakosin. Next door, Wat Pho shelters a giant reclining Buddha and a famous school of Thai massage, and across the Chao Phraya River the porcelain-studded spires of Wat Arun glow at sunset.

Top-ranked sights in Bangkok: Temple of the Dawn (Wat Arun), Bangkok Chinatown (Yaowarat), Grand Palace.
