In addition to the Daxiong Hall, there are other palaces in the Jade Buddha Temple. The buildings such as the Book Collection are very Thai-style and are magnificent. The sun is dazzling, because there is no tour guide, we are visiting ourselves. The whole building is very luxurious, and the buildings are reflective when you look closely, because there are reflective glass pieces on the outside of the building.
Ti Shu Shu Ge and Shwedagon Pagoda, this Golden Pagoda is definitely the most eye-catching building of the entire Jade Buddha Temple. It is golden from top to bottom. The square building next to it is the library. It is the most powerful, and it is dedicated to a classic made of gold.
There are many statues in the entire Jade Buddha Temple, different postures, but very Thai. Is this statue familiar? If you have been to Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, you must be impressed. There are several such statues in the airport standing in the check-in hall. This is my Thai impression. I like this pair of gods the most, the upper body is the daughter body, the lower body is the lion body, the lion body fairy, very beautiful.
The roofs of many temples in Thailand are such a shape, a bit like a corn bag, and a bit like a stupa, a special shape, but a memory of Thai culture.

It's a beautiful and most favorite temple.
One of the best things you should have missed. rich of cultural utter of royal arts and historical of Thai and influrence of Buddhism.
This temple is beautiful, the statues, the buildings, the grounds...but it is not meant to be a tourist attraction (it is a place of prayer) therefore crowds do not move well through the area. I do completely understand the crowds though. It is an amazing complex.
Entering here is like going inside a dream. It is so majestic. I even touched a part of an stracture made with shining stones to feel that it is reality.
One of the most beautiful place I've ever visited. The architecture was just truly Amazing! When you look closely you can find those exquisite details. It could get a bit crowded sometimes but well worth it. It's a must visit place when you go to Thailand. Highly recommend
