Wat Pho temple

Some of the List that you must do if you visit Wat pho

1. Try to rent a Thai national costume and take a selfie
2. Praying for love or asking for soul mate at Wat Pho
3. Having dinner around temple area

We stayed near Icon Siam, so we chose to take a boat to Wat Pho to enjoy the scenery along both banks of the Chao Phraya River. The fare was very cheap, only eight baht per person, the same price for both Thais and foreigners.

THA TEIN

(When you arrived at Tha Tien, I recommended finding a shop to rent costume before entering the temple.)

THAI COSTUME

I don’t really want to recommend the shop where I rented the costume because the price was quite expensive, the quality wasn’t as good as other shops, and the costumes were too old and not to much choice.

and here are some of the shop that Thai and Chinese people like to go more

1. Sense of Thai
2. Absolute Thai

Each shop has different prices, ranging from 150 to 3,000 baht, and it’s important to confirm the price clearly before renting a costume.

Praying for love or asking for soul mate at Wat Pho

The tradition of visiting Wat Pho to ask for a life partner is a belief and practice many Thai people follow. It is believed that by following the correct rituals, you can attract the energy of true, lasting love. This often involves praying to Buddha or deities at the temple and preparing offerings, which are said to bring good fortune in matters of love.

Here are the items to prepare:

1. Eight pink lotus flowers: Symbolizing pure and beautiful love.
2. Eight pink candles: To enhance the power of love.
3. Eight pink incense sticks: To bring blessings and open the path for love to enter your life.
4. Gold leaf: Used to ask for blessings from the Buddha for a better love life.
5. Eight baht coins: Symbolizing prosperity and success in love.
6. Tuesday: It is considered the most suitable day for asking for love-related blessings, as it is believed to carry positive energy and new beginnings.

In addition to preparing the offerings, it’s important to focus your mind and pray for finding a true partner who will walk with you through life.

Having dinner around temple area

Around 6 PM, Wat Pho will light up the entire temple, and it looks absolutely beautiful. On the other side of Wat Pho, there is Wat Arun, where you can also enjoy a stunning sunset. If you choose a good restaurant, you’ll be able to see the views of both places at once.
