Built within the grounds of the #Grand #Palace, Wat Phra Kaew or 'The #Temple of the #Emerald #Buddha' is the most important and most visited temple in #Bangkok. One of the most significant features of Wat Phra Kaew is the Emerald Buddha, carved from a 66 cm tall block of jade. This highly revered icon was first discovered in 1464 in #Chiang #Rai when the wat sheltering it was struck by lightning. It was taken to Laos before coming back to Chiang Mai and finally making a permanent home in Bangkok where you can admire it today.
