Wat Pho: reclining Buddha, courtyards and a focused first visit
The Reclining Buddha is the obvious reason to come to Wat Pho, but it is a difficult place to understand by moving directly from the entrance to one famous photograph and back out again. The image fills its hall, the courtyards contain a dense variety of forms, and the temple's reputation also involves learning and traditional Thai massage. A little structure helps you see those different identities without trying to turn a single visit into a complete course in Bangkok history.

Wat Ratchabophit: tiled architecture, cloisters and a considered visit
Wat Ratchabophit is a rewarding place to stop thinking about Bangkok temples as a list of similar sights.

A Golden Mount visit has a clear physical shape: leave the street, make the gradual ascent around an artificial hill, then arrive above the lower rooflines of the old city. That progression is its appeal. It also means the day works best when you treat the ascent as an activity in its own right, rather than inserting it between two long walks because the summit looks close on a map.
