Enjoy the afternoon viewing of Wat Phra Kaew with film-toned photos.

Wat Phra Kaew or Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram is an important royal temple in various royal ceremonies. It was built at the same time as the establishment of Rattanakosin in 2325 during the reign of King Rama I.

Inside the temple is the Phra Phuttha Maha Mani Rattana Patimakorn or the Emerald Buddha.

The atmosphere of walking around Wat Phra Kaew in the afternoon is filled with tranquility. The soft afternoon sunlight shines on the ordination hall and the golden pagoda, reflecting the sparkling light from the sculptures and stained glass patterns on the temple walls beautifully.

Tourists of various nationalities walk quietly and admire the exquisite Thai architecture. Some groups raise their cameras to take pictures to capture their impressions. Some queue with faith to pay homage to the “Emerald Buddha”, the city’s guardian Buddha, inside the sacred ordination hall.

This time of year is not only beautiful with natural light, but also full of the power of faith that unites people from all over the world in the same place in harmony.
