Temple of the Emerald Buddha

Temple of the Emerald Buddha

Located within the grounds of the Grand Palace is Thailand’s most important Buddhist temple.

Wat Phra Kaew or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha is the most important building within the complex because of its highly revered image of Buddha in meditating position in the style of the Lanna school of the north where it is carved meticulously from a single block of jade stone and stands about 66 centimeters tall.

The emerald Buddha dates back to the 15th century AD and is the country’s most sacred image that no one except for the King of Thailand or the Crown Prince is allowed to touch it.

Every year, a seasonal cloak covering the statue is changed three times to signify winter, summer and the rainy season. The changing of this robe is considered a very important ritual that is performed only by HM the King to bring good fortune to Thailand.

Seeing Wat Phra Kaew and the rest of the Grand Palace is definitely an experience like no other. Book a tour of Bangkok that includes a stop by these two important landmarks with La Vacanza. Get in touch with us today to know more about your options for your trip.
