[🇹🇭Bangkok] The charm of Wat Phra Kaew, a sacred golden space

Wat Phra Kaew is the most prestigious temple in Bangkok. This place, where the emerald Buddha is enshrined, continues to attract travelers from all over the world as the center of Thai Buddhism. Eye-catching, luxurious decoration When you step into Wat Phra Kaew, the first thing you see is the glittering golden architecture. The intricately decorated main hall and pagoda shine in the sunlight, and you will be overwhelmed by their splendor. The gold leaf and mosaic work applied throughout the temple, the sculptures of mythical creatures, and other things are so beautiful that you will sigh wherever you look. The sacred presence of the Emerald Buddha Enshrined in the center of the temple is the Emerald Buddha (Phra Kaew Morakot), the most important Buddha statue in Thailand. Although it is a small Buddha statue only about 66 cm tall, its sacred presence is immeasurable. What is interesting is the costume of the Buddha statue, which is changed with each season. The tradition of the Thai king himself performing a ceremony to give the Buddha statue new clothes is still passed down today. A story hidden in the intricate murals Around the main hall, magnificent murals depicting the Thai epic poem "Ramakien" are spread out. The story, painted with delicate brushwork, is strongly influenced by the history and faith of the kingdom, and just by carefully looking at it, you can feel the depth of Thai culture. In conclusion Wat Phra Kaew is not just a tourist spot, but a special place that can be said to be the spiritual pillar of Thailand. Why not take the time to experience Thai culture and history while experiencing the beauty of the glittering temple and the sacred presence of the Emerald Buddha? #WatPhraKaew #EmeraldBuddha #BangkokTourism #ThaiTemple #BuddhistArchitecture #ThaiTrip #HistoricalBuildings #TempleTour #SacredPlaces #CharmOfBangkok #Spring0YenTrip
