Today, the Grand Palace serves as a venue for royal ceremonies, official functions, and the reception of state guests and foreign dignitaries. This historic site is also where the remains of kings and high-ranking royal family members were once laid out before their cremation. The palace complex includes several impressive buildings, including the Emerald Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Kaew), which houses Thailand's most revered statue of the Buddha. Walking through the Grand Palace, you'll experience the rich cultural and spiritual history of Thailand, with its intricate details, golden spires, and beautifully landscaped gardens.
Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)
Continue to enjoy your visit to Wat Phra Kaew, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, located within the Grand Palace grounds. Wat Phra Kaew is Thailand's most sacred temple and a significant pilgrimage site for Thai Buddhists. The temple is home to the Emerald Buddha, the country’s most revered Buddha image. This precious statue is housed in the ubosot (ordination hall), an ornately decorated building constructed in the late 18th century, after King Rama I established Bangkok as the new capital of Siam. The ubosot’s walls are adorned with beautiful paintings, showcasing the Rattanakosin style, and adding to the temple's rich cultural and historical significance. Wat Phra Kaew remains a symbol of Thailand’s spiritual heritage, attracting visitors from around the world who come to admire its stunning architecture and to pay respects to the Emerald Buddha.
