Bangkok's other temples are no less attractive than Wat Phra Keo. In bustling Wat Pho, I was delighted with the huge 46-meter-long statue of the Reclining Buddha, made of gilded plaster and bricks. From the top of the terrace of the highest prang of Wat Arun temple in Thon Buri district, I admired the breathtaking panorama of Bangkok. And in the temple complex of Wat Benchamabophit, known as the Marble Temple, I had the opportunity to observe the daily life of monks in the residential part of sanghawat open to visitors.
