Wat Phra Keo

















A few weeks ago, while in Bangkok, I took my parents to see Wat Phra keo (Temple of Emerald Buddha). This is the temple that houses Thailands most precious Buddha statue. It was originally thought to be made out of Emerald, but in reality is made out of jade. This tiny little Buddha has its clothes changed three times a year, one time for each season, by the king. You arnt allowed to take pictures in the building where the Buddha is, so my picture is a picture from outside in. Apparently, this is ok to do. I also have taken pictures of the royal palace and the three jedis that are right beside wat Phra Keo.
