Wat Phra Kaew, Chiang Rai

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck #WatPhraKaewChiangRai 🙏🏽💚

This is the temple where the Emerald Buddha or Phra Phuttha Maha Mani Ratana Patimakorn was discovered, which is currently enshrined at Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram, Bangkok.

According to history, in 1897, during the reign of King Sam Fang Kaen, lightning struck an abandoned pagoda and a gold-lacquered Buddha image was found inside. Later, the lacquer peeled off, revealing that it was the Emerald Buddha.

After the Emerald Buddha was brought to Bangkok, the people of Chiang Rai built a new Emerald Buddha instead, called the “Chiang Rai Jade Buddha” or the “Phra Phuttha Ratnakorn Nawatiwatsanuson Mongkhon”, which was built on the occasion of Her Majesty Queen Srinagarindra’s 90th birthday on October 21, 1990, and is enshrined in the “Hor Phra Yok” temple.
