Location Map GPS : 13.7514967,100.4926686 Wat Phra Kaeo is one of the world's great sights. It serves as the royal chapel and no monks live there. Wat Phra Kaeo was built in 1782 or 226 years ago. The Emerald Buddha sits atop an 11-meter tall gilded altar, protected by a nine-tiered umbrella. Wat Phrakaeo Video  Demon gate-guardian  Ramakien mural painting on the gallery around the Temple of the Emerald Buddha The visit to Wat Phra Kaeo is highly recommended. Upon entering each visitor will get a brochure explaining the important places in the compound, including a map. After turning left, several amazing architectural structures are in front of you. Large standing guardian giants, and Phra Sri Ratana Chedi, Phra Mondhop, and Prasart Phra Debidorn are the next popular places for tourists to take pictures. The beauty of the temple and the details of every piece of architecture are difficult to find elsewhere. 
 The next very important visit is the Chapel Royal of the Emerald Buddha. Inside this chapel you can see the Emerald Buddha which is located at the high level and photography is forbidden. However, tourists can take zoom picture outside of the temple as we have shown here (using digital camera with 3X zoom).  Click here for brief history of the Emerald Buddha.  |
