Wat Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Ratchaworamahawihan — Wat Pho to most visitors — is the temple on Rattanakosin (Old City) that holds the reclining Buddha, and it is one of the reasons people fly to Bangkok. The temple sits on the royal island, the artificial island created in 1782 when Rama I dug the Rop Krung canal to define the new capital. Surrounding it are the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Arun across the river. The neighbourhood beyond the palaces is old Bangkok proper: two-storey shophouses, army barracks, the Ministry of Defence building and a handful of tourist-facing streets around the palace gates. Tha Tien pier at Wat Pho is the launch point for river hops, and Sanam Luang, the great oval field north of the palace, hosts royal ceremonies and cremations. Culture-first travellers stay here to reach the palaces at 8am opening before the crowds arrive.
