Culture & Heritage

When visiting Wat Pho in Bangkok, don’t stop at just admiring the famous Reclining Buddha. Just behind the massive statue lies a corridor lined with 108 bronze bowls, symbolizing the 108 virtues of the Buddha. Locals drop a coin into each bowl, often while whispering wishes or words of gratitude.

Why not try the experience yourself? Take your time placing a coin in each bowl, focusing on your intention or wish, because as your guide may teasingly say with a smile, "If you miss one, you will have to come back to Bangkok to finish the ritual!"
