Grand Palace & Emerald Buddha Half-Day Temple Tour Duration 3h+ USD 42 per adult
Wat Phra Kaew (known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha or locally as Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram) is one of the most important Buddhist temples in Thailand. Located in the historic centre of Bangkok and within the grounds of the Grand Palace, the temple enshrines Phra Kaew Morakot (the Emerald Buddha), the highly revered Buddha image meticulously carved from a single block of jade. The Emerald Buddha (Phra Putta Maha Mani Ratana Patimakorn) is a Buddha image in the meditating position in the style of the Lanna school of the north and dates back to the 15th century.
The Story of Emerald Buddha
The Emerald Buddha
Historical sources indicate that the statue surfaced in northern Thailand in the Lannathai kingdom in 1434. One account of its discovery tells that lightning struck a pagoda in a temple in Chiang Rai, after which, something became visible beneath the stucco. The Buddha was dug out, and the people believed the figurine to be made of emerald, hence its name. King Sam Fang Kaen of Lannathai wanted it in his capital, Chiang Mai, but the elephant carrying it insisted, on three separate occasions, on going instead to Lampang. This was taken as a divine sign and the Emerald Buddha stayed in Lampang until 1468, when it was finally moved to Chiang Mai, where it was kept at Wat Chedi Luang.
The Emerald Buddha remained in Chiang Mai until 1552, when it was taken to Luang Prabang, then the capital of the Lao kingdom of Lan Xang. Some years earlier, the crown prince of Lan Xang, Setthathirath, had been invited to occupy the vacant throne of Lannathai. However, Prince Setthathirath also became king of Lan Xang when his father, Photisarath, died. He returned home, taking the revered Buddha figure with him. In 1564, King Setthathirath moved it to his new capital at Vientiane.[1]

In 1779, the Thai General Chao Phraya Chakri put down an insurrection, captured Vientiane and returned the Emerald Buddha to Siam, taking it with him to Thonburi. After he became King Rama I of Thailand, he moved the Emerald Buddha with great ceremony to its current home in Wat Phra Kaew on 22 March 1784. It is now kept in the main building of the temple, the Ubosoth.
Gold clothing
The Emerald Buddha itself is simply the Jadeite statue,[2] but it is adorned with garments made of gold. There are three different sets of gold clothing, which are changed by the King of Thailand or a liaison in a ceremony at the changing of the seasons -- in the 1st Waning of Lunar Months 4, 8 and 12 (around March, July and November). The three sets of gold garments correspond to Thailand's summer season, rainy season, and cool season. The two sets of gold clothing not in use at any given time are kept on display in the nearby Pavilion of Regalia, Royal Decorations and Thai Coins on the grounds of the Grand Palace, where the public may view them.

GRAND PALACE - THE RESIDENCE OF THAI KING , WAT PHRA KAEW - THE TEMPLE OF EMERALD BUDDHA
The Grand Palace located in the old city of Bangkok on the banks of the Chao Phraya river is one of the must see sites of Thailand. This complex is one of the most famous landmarks of the country and offers spectacular buildings and sacred sites.
The Wat Phra Kaew or “Temple of the Emerald Buddha” on the grounds of the Grand Palace is one of Thailand’s most sacred places. The small Buddha image is believed to be more than 2000 years old and was created in India. Since then it was moved a number of times and in 1434 it was re-discovered in a temple in Chiang Rai in Northern Thailand.
Although people back then believed the Buddha to be made from emerald, it is actually made from green jade. With the changing of the seasons (summer, rainy season and cool season), the robes of the Emerald Buddha are changed by HM the King of Thailand.
The walls of the Hall are covered with mural paintings depicting a number of events in the Life of the Lord Buddha, including birth, death and Enlightenment.
The surrounding galleries
The Royal Monastery is surrounded by walls covered with beautiful and very detailed paintings of the Ramakien, the Thai version of the Indian epic Ramayana. Large parts of the Ramakien were written by King Rama I and King Rama II. Many of the paintings tell scenes about the battle between good and evil. They were first created when the Palace was built in the 18th century and since then restored several times.
Dress code
Since this is a sacred place, please follow the dress code. This means no short pants, no shirts without sleeves, no bare feet. As in any temple in Thailand, please take off your shoes. Near the entrance of the Palace complex is a booth where proper clothes are provided if needed.
Although photo and video equipment is allowed in most of the Grand Palace, inside the Wat Phra Kaew temple they are not.
Grand Palace Bangkok brochure
On entering the Grand Palace you will receive a brochure with details about the complex including a map. However, the layout of the complex is such that the route through is pretty much fixed.
Wat Phra Kaeo and Grand Palace, Bangkok - Thailand 4K Travel Channel
About 20 years ago we visited the Grand Palace with the associated Wat Phra Kaeo for the first time. At that time it was still a leisurely walk through the comlex and one could undisturbed take pictures. Today flock enormous crowds on the courts and through the corridors and halls, so it is no longer possible to make a video setting without tourists running in front of the lens. Security controls, such as the inspection of bags are included.
Our tour starts at Wat Phra Kaeo, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. The 70 cm tall statue is enthroned in 11 m height and is surrounded by a further 10 Buddha statues. According to legend, the statue was found in Chiang Rai in northern Thailand. After an odyssey via Lampang, Chiang Mai and Vientiane it came to Bangkok. The statue is attributed magical powers.
The emerald Buddha is regarded Thailand's National shrine.
The Chapel of the Emerald Buddha (Phra Ubosot) is the central sanctuary of the temple. On a terrace rises a huge golden Chedi (Phra Sri Rattana Chedi) which allegedly contains a portion of the sternum of Buddha. Striking is also the so-called library (Phra Mondop), where precious scrolls are kept. Next to it you see a model of Angkor Wat. Below the terrace is the Royal Pantheon (Prasat Phra Thep Bidon), which, like the library, is not accessible.
Remarkable are the statues of gilded mythical mythical creatures, which are distributed throughout the complex.
Ayutthaya, the ancient capital of Thailand was destroyed, Bangkok declared the new capital when king Rama I decided to build a new palace for strategic reasons on the east side of the Chao Phraya River. During the construction of the palace one oriented themselves at the former palace complex in Ayutthaya. The move was carried out 1782.
The Wat Phra Kaeo is part of the entire palace complex, which is surrounded by a high stone wall.
A central component is the Chakri Maha Prasat group, a building complex which contains the throne room. Various buildings and Ceremonial Hall, Coronation Hall and a room where the king is preserved after his death are now accessible, however, filming and photographing is strictly prohibited today.

Vor ungefähr 20 Jahren besichtigten wir erstmals den Grand Palace mit dem dazugehörenden Wat Phra Kaeo. Damals konnte man noch gemütlich durch die Anlagen wandern und ungestört Photos machen. Heute strömen enorme Menschenmassen über die Plätze und durch die Gänge und Hallen, sodass es nicht mehr möglich ist eine Einstellung vorzunehmen ohne dass Touristen vor die Linse laufen. Sicherheitskontrollen, wie das Durchleuchten des Handgepäcks gehören dazu.
Unser Rundgang beginnt im Wat Phra Kaeo, dem Tempel des Smaragd Buddhas ( Emeralda Buddha ). Die ca. 70 cm hohe Statue thront in 11 m Höhe und ist von weiteren 10 Buddha Statuen umgeben. Der Legend nach wurde die Statue in Chiang Rai im Norden Thailands gefunden und gelangte nach einer Irrfahrt über Lampang, Chiang Mai und Vientiane nach Bangkok. Ihr werden magische Kräfte nachgesagt.
Der Smaragd Buddha ist Thailands National-Heiligtum.
Die Kapelle des Smaragd-Buddhas (Phra Ubosot) bildet das zentrale Heiligtum des Tempels. Auf einer Terrasse erhebt sich ein riesiger goldener Chedi (Phra Sri Rattana Chedi), der angeblich einen Teil des Brustbeins des Buddha enthält. Markant ist auch die sogenannte Bibliothek (Phra Mondop), in der wertvolle Schriftrollen aufbewahrt werden. Daneben steht ein Model von Angkor Wat. Unterhalb der Terrasse befindet sich das Königliche Pantheon (Prasat Phra Thep Bidon), das jedoch nicht zugänglich ist, ebenso wie die Bibliothek.
Auffallend sind die Stauen von vergoldeten mythischen Fabelwesen, welche auf dem gesamten Gebiet verteilt sind.
Ayuttaya, die alte Hauptstadt Thailands war zerstört, Bangkok zur neuen Hauptstadt erklärt, als König Rama I beschloss einen neuen Palast aus strategischen Gründen auf der Ostseite des Chao Phraya Flusses zu errichten. Beim Bau des Palastes orientierte man sich an der ehemaligen Palastanlage in Ayutthaya. 1782 erfolgte der Umzug.
Das Wat Phra Kaeo ist Teil der gesamten Palastanlage, die von einer hohen Steinmauer eingefasst ist.
Zentraler Bestandteil ist die Chakri Maha Prasat Gruppe, ein Gebäudekomplex, der den Thronsaal enthält. Diverse Gebäude mit Zeremoniensaal, Krönungssaal und einem Saal in dem der König nach seinem Tod aufbewahrt wird sind heute zugänglich, allerdings ist filmen und photographieren strengstens untersagt.
