Introduction
Wat Phra Kaew, or the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is located in the northeast corner of the Grand Palace in Bangkok. The temple is a must-see site for Thai tourists. The royal family has held important ceremonies here. In Buddhist countries like Thailand, religion has always been inseparable from the monarchy. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha is also part of the Grand Palace and a vaunted representative of temples in Thailand. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha occupies a quarter of the Grand Palace. The architecture of the temple is magnificent, the statue of Buddha is adorned with gold, jade, and jewels, and the temple combines many characteristics of Buddhist temples in Thailand. The architecture of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha includes fearsome guardians, the rare jade statue of Buddha, and a towering chedi. This temple is a Bangkok icon.

Worth going, very beautiful, very famous temple in Bangkok, Thailand! Well worth a visit! highly recommended
The Royal Temple of the Emerald Buddha Temple is truly magnificent. Thailand believes in the Erawan Buddha and is the capital of faith. The Jade Buddha Temple and the Grand Palace are connected, and the ticket is a pass. The first time I saw a temple in Thailand, the Jade Buddha Temple is not only spectacular, but also exquisite. You can't show your arms when entering the temple, and the skirt should be over the knee.
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
The Royal Grand Palace is the first destination of Bangkok attraction to visit first. There are many places in traditional and Thai Buddha history inside the temple. Great place should be visited.
