The Wat Phra Kaew (English Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Thai: วัดพระแก้ว; full official name Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram, Thai: วัดพระศรีรัตนศาสดาราม) is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple (wat) in Thailand. It is located in the historic center of Bangkok (district Phra Nakhon), within the grounds of the Grand Palace.[1]
The construction of the temple started when King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I) moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok in 1785. Unlike other temples it does not contain living quarters for monks; rather, it has only the highly decorated holy buildings, statues, and pagodas.
The main building is the central ubosoth, which houses the Emerald Buddha. There are three main doors used to enter the temple, however only the King and Queen are allowed to enter through the center door. Even though it is small in size it is the most important icon for Thai people. Legends hold that the statue originated in India, but it first surfaced in the vassal Kingdom of Cambodia and was given as a gift to the King of Ayuttaya in the 15th century 1434. The image disappeared when Burmese raiders sacked Ayuttaya and the image was feared lost. A century later, the 'Emerald' Buddha reappeared in Chiang Saen, after a rainstorm washed away some of its plaster covering. It was then moved to Chiang Rai, then Chiang Mai, where it was removed by prince Setatiratt to Luang Prabang, when his father died and he ascended the throne of that Siamese vassal state. In later years it was moved to the Siamese vassal state of Vientiene. During a Haw invasion from the North, Luang Prabang requested Siam's help in repelling the invaders. The King of Vietienne tratoriously attacked the Siamese army from the rear, so the 'Emerald' Buddha returned to Siam when King Taksin fought with Laos and his general Chakri (the later King Rama I) took it from Vientiane, which at that time had been brought to its knees by the Thai Army. It was first taken to Thonburi and in 1784 it was moved to its current location. Wat Preah Keo, in Phnom Penh, is considered by many modern Cambodians as its rightful resting place, whereas, Haw Phra Kaew, in Vientiane, is considered by many Lao people as the Emerald Buddha's rightful place.
The wall surrounding the temple area from the outside only a plain white wall is painted with scenes from the Thai version of the Ramayana mythology, the Ramakian. Several statues in the temple area resemble figures from this story, most notably the giants (yak), five-meter high statues. Also originating from the Ramayana are the monkey kings and giants which surround the golden chedis.
The Temple also contains a model of Angkor Wat, added by King Nangklao (Rama III), as the Khmer empire of Cambodia and the Thais share cultural and religious roots.
Despite the hot weather most of the year in Bangkok, long trousers are required to enter the wat. This rule is strictly enforced. The facility offers the rental of proper trouser wear.

Mae Nak Phra Khanong Shrine, Bangkok
The story of Mae Nak Phra Khanong is known to most Thais. She showed love, devotion and loyalty to her husband, even after her death, by taking care of him as a ghost. Her shrine, which is not very elaborate, but quite unusual and interesting, is located at Wat Mahabut, off soi 7, Onnuj Road.

My first stop in Southern Thailand was Krabi (กระบี่), a town which is a launching point for many other destinations on the western coast of the Thai peninsula. Unfortunately, I visited during rainy season, so I couldn't enjoy the famous Railay Beach. But a little rain never kept me from finding something to do!
I enjoyed the night food stands near the river, walked 1,237 steps (!) to the top of the Tiger Cave Temple, and tried the delicious May & Mark's restaurant.

BEAUTIFUL AND WEIRD WHITE TEMPLE - Chiang Rai, Thailand
OUR LAST DAY IN THAILAND! We woke up in Chiang Rai with one goal in mind... visit the beautiful White Temple, Wat Rong Khun. Unfortunately, we got a bit of a late start to the day and arrived around 11 AM... the same time as every tour bus and we were swamped with people. Regardless, this temple was still breathtaking with it's unique architecture and art... but the inside paintings were probably some of the weirdest art and last things we would expect to see inside a Buddhist temple.

VTR supporting tourism in Phrae
Hello guys, now we are in Phrae – a small province in North of Thailand, a town which is so interesting and fascinating that I’d like you to come and visit.

The Museum of Khum Chao Luang Muang Phrae was built in 1892 (B.E. 2435) by the last lord of Phrae, Chao Luang Piriyathapawong. It is the architecture in the early King Rama V period which combined Thai and European architecture, called gingerbread style.

Wat Phra That Suthon Mongkhon Khiri features beautiful architectures mixed the Buddhist arts from Lanna and neighboring countries.

Mae Chok Hot Spring is a natural and mineral-rich hot spring which good for our skin and the average temperature is about 80ºC. There is also the holy place-Phra That Khuay Poo, one of the thousand-year temples located here in Wang Chin district.
- Ban Don Sai, Long District
At Wat Sri Don Kham you not only ring the explosive case bell but also visit a thousand –year Phra That Huay Aor and the local museum located in the temple area.
- Ban Pin Railway Station, Long District
One place you shouldn’t miss when you visit Long district is Ban Pin Railway Station because it is a unique railway station in Thailand designed like Bavarian timbre-frame house.
- Tham Pha Nang Khoi Cave, Rong Kwang District
There is a stalagmite shaped like a woman holding a small child and waiting for her husband inside the cave, so it has become the name of the cave.
- Lilit Phra Lor Park, Song District
Inside the park, you will see the monument of Phra Lor, Phra Puen and Phra Paeng leaning against each other and there is also an imitation of the cave of the old man (Poo Chao Saming Prai). So the tourists can learn about the great Thai literature here.
- Kham San Gallery, Nong Muang Khai District
Teak wood carving is a dying art form. There is not much education to sustain it. Phrae used to be the Teak Capital of Thailand and here in Kham San Gallery you’ll find a great example of Buddha inspired wood carvings. Kham San Gallery is a gallery and studio of Buddhist Art Sculptures. It is one of the most impressive teak galleries in Thailand.

Instagram- @LiterallyAnika :)
If you have only a couple days or even just a day in Krabi these are three things you can do in just one day! Id suggest taking your own private driver so you beat the crowds and get the best photos. Going with a tour group ruins everything because it can get super busy. Going on my own was the best decision ever!

WHITE TEMPLE AKA Wat Rong Khun // Chiang Rai, Thailand // Travel Vlog
Chiang Rai, Thailand is a quieter city, but it's home to one of the most eccentric Buddhist temples in I've ever been to: Wat Rong Khun. Known by farang tourists as the White Temple, this complex was designed by Chalermchai Kositpipat, a former billboard painter who is interested intertwining Buddhist iconography with pop culture. He also designed Chiang Rai's Golden Clock Tour.
