The Giants (Yak Wat Pho)

#watphobangkok "These towering guardian statues at Wat Pho’s entrance are impossible to miss! The intricate details, from their fierce expressions to the colorful armor, make them fascinating to look at. I later learned that these Yakshas are mythological beings meant to protect the temple. They remind me of the ones at Wat Arun and Suvarnabhumi Airport. They add a mystical touch to the temple grounds, and I enjoyed taking photos here before exploring further. If you love Thai folklore and mythology, these statues are a cool detail that makes Wat Pho even more special."
