Wat Phra Kaew: A royal temple with a history of over 100 years.

The Buddha statue, which is only 66 cm tall, has always been a contested object between India, Sri Lanka, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand. In the mid-16th century, the Buddha statue was stolen by Laotian invaders. It was not until 200 years later in 1778 that the King of Thailand declared war on Laos and finally recovered the Buddha statue. After moving to Bangkok, the Buddha statue has been enshrined in Wat Phra Kaew. 🗓️Opening hours: 08:30-15:30. 🚕Transportation: Bus No. 508/512. 🎫Admission: Wat Phra Kaew + Grand Palace 500 baht/person. 📷Photography: Allowed, but it is best not to use flash. 🍲Dining: Explore the bustling area around Wat Phra Kaew and the Grand Palace. 🎁Souvenirs: Some cultural and creative products in the scenic area can be purchased. ⏰Recommended duration: About half a day with the Grand Palace.
