Speaking of destinations full of charm and long history of Thailand, "Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram" or what we know as "Wat Phra Kaew" is a place not to be missed in any way. This temple is located in the heart of Bangkok, within the Grand Palace. It is a temple built along with the establishment of the Rattanakosin Kingdom. And it is considered the most important temple of Thailand.
An important highlight that attracts tourists from all over the world is to pay homage to "Phra Phuttha Maha Mani Rattana Patimakorn" or the Emerald Buddha, a Buddha image in the posture of subduing Mara, carved from a single piece of green jade exquisitely. It is enshrined inside the Ubosot, which is decorated with the world's longest Ramakien mural, reflecting the glory of Thai art in the Rattanakosin period in an amazing way.
In addition to praying for blessings, walking around the temple is also an enjoyable activity. Whether it's Prasat Phra Thepbidon, the golden Phra Sri Rattana Chedi, or the Yaksha Thvaraban who stand guard at the temple gates with awe. Every corner of this place is a beautiful and valuable photo spot. Suitable for relaxing and recharging your heart on holidays.
For preparing to travel, it is recommended to dress politely (no shorts and sleeveless shirts) to respect the place. And you should come early to avoid the hot weather and crowds. Guarantee that visiting Wat Phra Kaew will make your holiday a "Sookjai Day" that you will never forget.
