BAT PHRA KEO IN BANGKOK
Wat Phra Kaew is the most important temple of Thailand. It is located in the very center of Bangkok in the innermost part of the Royal Palace and houses the emerald Buddha statue. This statue of Buddha, made of jadeite, has a rich history. After it was discovered in Chiang Rai in 1434, several kings owned the statue. More than 200 years was in Laos, before being returned to Thailand, with the capture of Vientiane in 1778. Finally acquired its permanent place in the temple in 1784. The atmosphere that prevails around this place is special and touching. At the foot of the altar, sometimes you can see the royal gifts and offerings of ordinary people.
