US President Barack Obama's visit to Thailand will not focus solely on important bilateral issues, but will include a cultural element,
as the president has chosen to begin his trip with a visit to Wat Pho on Sunday.
The temple will be closed to tourists during his tour of the temple, which will take in four key locations - the main hall, the Reclining Buddha,
the Phra Maha Chedi stupa, and the Thai traditional massage sculptures, according to the temple's deputy abbot, Phra Udornkanarak.
"Abbot Phra Suthee Thammanuwat will act as a guide for the US president, who is scheduled to arrive at the temple at 4pm. He is expected
to tour the temple for 45 minutes," the monk said.
The temple will be closed to visitors from 10am, and Abbot Phra Suthee Thammanuwat will lead a tour of four sites: the principal hall; the pavilion
housing the 43-metre-long Reclining Buddha; the main stupa; and the Contorted Hermit Mount, where hermit statues in traditional exercise postures
are on display.
The temple's official name is Phra Chettuphon Wimon Mangkhlaram Ratchaworamahawihan.
The visit is at the initiative of the US Embassy in Bangkok, which contacted the temple before the US presidential election on November 6. The monk
quoted US Ambassador Kristie Kenney as saying that Wat Pho is the most beautiful temple in the world. "The temple and Thailand would like to thank
the ambassador for helping to choose the temple, which has certainly helped bolster Thailand's reputation."
