Temple of the Emerald Buddha and the Temple of the Reclining Buddha

Hram Smaragdnog Bude ili Wat Phra Kaew u Bangkoku je jedno od najlepših mesta koje sam ikada videla, pravo arhitektonsko čudo. Kompleks hrama graniči se sa bivšom kraljevskom rezidencijom tj. Velikom palatom. Vrt je prelep i sve je perfektno uređeno i organizovano.
Tamo sam imala prilike videti zlatne stubove ukrašene mozajcima i mermerom. Krovovi su u tai stilu, zelene boje a tu su i i budistički spomenici.
Smaragdni Buda glavna je atrakcija ovog hrama. Smaragdni Buda zapravo je malecni kip Bude, ne veći od 75 cm, koji se nalazi na povišenom oltaru i jedva da se vidi od mnoštva kićastih ukrasa. Malena figura Smaragdnog Bude uvek je obučena u kraljevsko odelo, koje se menja u zavisnosti od sezone.

Grand Palace & Temple of the Emerald Buddha or Wat Phra Kaeo

This is the most famous place that is a must for all tourists. It is a large compound located in the very heart of Bangkok.

The Grand Palace consists of several buildings with different styles of architecture. Wat Phra Kaeo is renowned as the most beautiful and important Buddhist temple in Thailand. It houses Phra Kaeo Morakot (the Emerald Buddha), the most highly revered Buddha image carved from a single block of fine jade.

Scattered in the temple grounds are numerous interesting sculptures of artistic value, including the fanciful animals in mythology, the fierce-looking giants standing guard at the gates, the six pairs of Cambodian-style bronze lions and the stone figures from China.

On the inside walls of the temple’s compound, there are extensive mural paintings depicting scenes from the famous epic “Ramayana“. It is the longest wall painting in the world as well as one of the Unseen Bangkoks. A distinctive characteristic of this temple is that there are no monks living in it like other temples.

For the temples, strict dress code. You must cover your legs and shoulders.
