Lonely Planet review for Wat Pho Thai Traditional Medical and Massage School

Offers basic and advanced courses in traditional massage; basic courses offer 30 hours spread out over five-days and cover either general massage or foot massage. The advanced level spans 60 hours, requires the basic course as a prerequisite, and covers therapeutic and healing massage. Other advanced courses include oil massage and aromatherapy, and infant and child massage. The school is outside the temple compound in a restored Bangkok shophouse near Tha Tien, and now has branches in northern and eastern Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

    Beautiful, but crowded

    eeker recommends this,

    As amazing as the reclining Buddha is (and really, it is), it's difficult to appreciate from the within the dense throng of tourists. It really feels like a place where there should be a sense of peace and reverence, but for most visitors it's not -- which is a shame.

    It's worth a visit, but the Grand Palace is a better experience if you have to choose one or the other.
