Wat Phra Kaew

Size: 43 items

Wat Phra Kaew (or Phra Kaeo) is located within the walls of the Grand Palace in Bangkok and is also known as the Royal Monastery of the Emerald Buddha. As popular a sight as there is in Bangkok, crowds flock to view the small, famous Buddha seated in an ornate hall where visitors sit and bask in it's glory.

The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is an architectural marvel with gilded gold columns supporting the roofs of the huge temples while golden chedis brilliant rise to the sky in the surrounding grounds. Worshippers mix with tourists from around the world to create a constantly buzzing atmosphere where the peacefulness associated with Buddhism seems distant. But even surrounded by the crowds, it's easy to find some inner peace when losing yourself in the sights of this temple.
