visitors every day. Within the Grand Palace walls is the most sacred temple in Thailand, Wat Phra
Kaew. Also commonly known as The Temple of the Emerald Buddha, Wat Phra Kaew is a large
temple complex that contains some beautiful buildings and artwork, but most importantly it is home
to the Emerald Buddha, which many regard as the sacred symbol of Thailand.

In front of the Royal Pantheon are two large golden chedis that sit
either side of the staircase. They are surrounded by a row of
colourful demon statues that appear as if they are holding up the
chedis. There are also many other statues and artwork
surrounding the buildings, some of the most common being
elephant statues, which are a symbol of power and independence
in Thailand.

nine towers. They were erected during the reign of
Rama I. Each tower is affixed with glazed tiles, with
different colours for each tower, supposed to denote
colours of the nine planets.Pagodas
The temple grounds also depict three pagodas to its
immediate north, which represent the changing centres of
Buddhist influence. One such shrine to the west of the temple
is the Phra Si Ratana Chedi, a 19th-century stupa built in Sri
Lankan style enshrining ashes of the Buddha.
Hermit statue
A hermit's bronze image, which is believed to have healing
powers, is installed in a sala on the western side of the
temple. It is near the entry gate. It is a black stone statue,
considered a patron of medicine, before which relatives of
the sick and infirm pay respects and make offerings of joss
sticks, fruit, flowers, and candles

buffalo hide on one end and left open on the other end. The
buffalo hide on this geduk is already torn, rendering it
unusable. At the time for prayer (which is five times a day)

rhythm before he recites the azan or the call for prayer. The
sound of the geduk can be heard even half a mile away
throughout the village on a quiet morning.
