• 🛕 Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram, also known as "Wat Phra Kaew," is located within the Grand Palace in Bangkok. This iconic temple is a symbol of Thai culture and heritage 💖. It does not house resident monks as it is part of the royal palace and is used for significant royal ceremonies.
• 💚 The highlight of the temple is the "Emerald Buddha," a sacred Buddha statue carved entirely from jade. It is enshrined in the main ordination hall, and the King himself changes its seasonal attire in a beautiful and spiritually significant ceremony.
• 🌸 The temple grounds are adorned with magnificent architecture, including the cloisters with murals depicting the Ramakien, pavilions, the library, and the golden chedi that glistens beautifully in the morning sunlight ✨.
• 📸 Popular photo spots include the area in front of the ordination hall and the golden chedi, with a backdrop of authentic Thai architecture blended with Rattanakosin art. Visitors often capture memorable photos here.
• 👟 Visitors are advised to dress modestly. Women should wear skirts or long pants, and men should wear long pants and sleeved shirts, as there is a dress code check before entry.
• 🕊️ Despite being in the heart of the capital, the temple offers a serene atmosphere, perfect for worship, making wishes, and admiring world-class art and architecture.
• 📍 Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram (Wat Phra Kaew), Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok.
