I really enjoyed this temple. It's quite well maintained and has some beautiful buildings. Try and go early in the morning before there are too many tourists. The Reclining Buddha is interesting (and very big), but it was all the other buildings I particularly enjoyed.

The reclining Buddha was beautiful and worth the entrance fee but I'd skip the massage and get it some where else in your travels. It's twice the price (480 THB per hour) and I had much better and cheaper in Chiang Mai.

The entrance fee is much less than that in the grand palace and temple of the emerald Buddha yet we felt it was more worth seeing than the rest :-) if you can bear the crazy heat!
