Temple of the Emerald Buddha

The Emerald Buddha Temple is worth visiting in Bangkok. It is located in Lampang and dates back to the 7th century. Built by the son of Queen Chamtyui. The 50-meter-high golden Chedi is impressive, with a few hairs from the Buddha’s head. There are seven Buddhas in the niches of the pagoda. The stylized viharn attracts attention. A white elephant statue with a small pavilion on its back is no accident. When the Emerald Buddha moved from one place to another, the elephant turned south. This was a sign that led to the creation of a new temple. The Museum of Culture, which is located on the territory of the temple, presents rare samples of porcelain and carved wooden products. A feature of the temple is a mixture of different architectural styles.

To visit the temple, you need to get to Lampang, and then walk to the historical center.
