Wat Phra Kaew, commonly known in English as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and officially as Wat Phra Si Rattana Satsadaram, is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. The Emerald Buddha housed in the temple is a potent religio-political symbol and the palladium of Thai society. It is located in Phra Nakhon District, the historic centre of Bangkok, within the precincts of the Grand Palace.The main building is the central phra ubosot, which houses the statue of the Emerald Buddha. According to legend, this Buddha image originated in India where the sage Nagasena prophesied that the Emerald Buddha would bring prosperity and pre-eminence to each country in which it resides, the Emerald Buddha deified in the Wat Phra Kaew is therefore deeply revered and venerated in Thailand as the protector of the country. Historical records however dates its finding to Chiang Rai in the 15th century where, after it was relocated a number of times, it was finally taken to Thailand in the 18th century. It was enshrined in Bangkok at the Wat Phra Kaew temple in 1782 during the reign of Phutthayotfa Chulalok, King Rama I . This marked the beginning of the Chakri Dynasty of Thailand, whose current sovereign is Vajiralongkorn, King Rama X. The Emerald Buddha, a dark green statue, is in a standing form, about 66 centimetres tall, carved from a single jade stone . It is carved in the meditating posture in the style of the Lanna school of the northern Thailand. Except for the Thai King and, in his stead, the Crown Prince, no other persons are allowed to touch the statue. The King changes the cloak around the statue three times a year, corresponding to the summer, winter, and rainy seasons, an important ritual performed to usher good fortune to the country during each season.

360° Interactive Virtual Tour:

Special Thalang historical tour

Intro: During the cultural festival to commemorate the great deed of Thao thep Kasartri-Thao Sri-Sunthorn, the authorities arrange tour on historical route for residents, to learn about the united action of the ancestors to defend the home land from invaders. We joined the significant tour on Monday March 8th.

We boarded a bus at the Phuket provincial Hall for a tour of historical sites in Talang district, on the north side of the island. The participants, a mix of young people and adults alike, signed up for the tour as part of a program initiated by the Phuket Provincial Authority, aimed at educating the public about the historical value of these sites.

The first stop on our itinerary was Wat Phra Nang Sang temple located on Thepkasartri road the main road leading towards the airport. This temple played a key role in the battle against the invading Burmese in 1785 as the meeting place for Thalang villagers to plan the strategy of the attack which eventually led to victory for Phuket. We learned here that this temple is the islands oldest monastery, constructed approximately 250 years ago. Situated in the temple courtyard is a 225 year old chapel. It houses big statues made of tin. They are referred to as Monks in the Belly or the Three Kings. Despite having lived in Phuket for so many years, this was the first time many of us had entered this temple.

Participant *** voice *** This young participant said
I find Phuket history is very interesting. Many locals may not even know the real story behind many of these sites. The younger generation should be educated about the historical background of our homeland. We should be aware about people who gave their lives to protect our homeland so that we can live happily today.

Thawichart Intornrit / Phuket provincial Cultural Office chief said
We would like the local people to understand about the provinces history. This is the main aim of the historical tour programs.

From Wat Phra Nang Sang temple, the tour bus took us to another famous site, Wat Phra Thong temple in Talang. It was built toward the end of Ayudhaya period. Visitors to this temple will be amazed by the image of Buddha which is half buried and emerges from the floor of temple. Legend tells that during the siege of Talang, Burmese troops attempted to dig up the image to take back with them, but a swarm of bees attacked them, preventing it from being removed from the ground. Years later, a pilgrimage was undertaken by local villagers to protect the holy statue from being stolen. This they accomplished by building a temple to preserve the sacred treasure. They named the statue 'Phra Pud' which means to emerge from the ground. The name Phra Thong temple was given by HM King Rama the sixth who visited Phra Pud Temple when he was a crown prince. The temple today is a centre of faith for residents and Buddhist pilgrims as well as those who are interested in local culture and history.
The tour didnt end here as participants continued on and visited many historical locations in Thalang including the old home of Thao Thep Kasartri and Thao Srisunthorn, the Thalang Victory memorial and the Thalang national museum located near the Heroines monument.

Terayut Aiumtrakul / Phuket vice governor commented
Im personally keen on history. As for my duty, the historical background, culture and local life style are to be listed in the provincial development plan.

Ajaan Sommai Pinbhudhasilp / local historian expressed:

At least the tour helps participants to understand more about the brave deeds of the two heroines-Thao Thep Kasartri and Thao Srisunthorn and our ancestors who were prepared to sacrifice their lives to protect the homeland. We live comfortably today, yet we should at least respect that our ancestors have worked so hard and gave their lives to save this country. It should stimulate a bond of unity among people of this generation. We may adhere to different beliefs, but we should still live together in peace.

The tour is part of the Two Heroines Fair, an activity held annually in honor of the two sisters, who 225 years ago, bravely led villagers to protect their homeland from being invaded by the Burmese. The local governments aim is to educate the younger generation about Phukets history so that they understand and value the significance of unity and working together.

Смотровая площадка Биг Будда на Пхукете

Добраться до смотровой площадки Биг Будда можно либо на собственном транспорте, либо на такси тук-туке.

Общественные автобусы сюда не ходят, но вы можете доехать по шоссе Chao Fa Rd (West) на голубом басе (который соединяет пляжи Карон и Ката с Пхукет Тауном) до поворота на Биг Будда (там будет указатель). А потом пройти минут 20 до подножия горы, где находится прокат квадроциклов. И уже на них отправиться в путешествие. Это оправдано, поскольку на некоторых участках дорога крутая и на мотобайке это может быть опасно (особенно, если вы только учитесь его водить).
Тут есть ресторан, где можно поесть и параллельно наслаждаться видами на окрестности. В округе полно банановых пальм, но срывать с них плоды не стоит, т.к. они принадлежат владельцам ресторана. Никаких беседок нет, но можно посидеть на огромном камне, прямо на краю пропасти. На нём стоит ещё один, который дает тень. Таким образом, здесь можно зависнуть на часок, не боясь получить солнечный удар. Перед камнем находится небольшой алтарь и он видимо является какой-то местной святыней. Видимо потому, что старый, а здесь всё старое почитается (вы наверное часто видели, что вокруг огромных и древних деревьев, ствол обвит гирляндами из цветов). На траву лучше не садитесь, там могут копошиться муравьи и более опасные твари (например, змеи).
