The Temple Of The Emerald Buddha
The temple of the Emerald Buddha is located in a separate complex within the compound of the Grand Palace. This temple is considered to be Thailand’s holiest shrine. Officially the temple is called Wat Phra Si Rattanasatsadaram.
The temple of the Emerald Buddha is built along the same lines as the grand chapels from the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya eras, and no monks live within the temple.
