[Introduction to Historical Landmarks]
- Grand Palace
The architecture served as the official residence of the King from the 18th century onwards. Construction began in 1782 during the reign of Rama I when the capital was moved from Thonburi to Bangkok, and the palace was continuously expanded through several renovation projects. However, the current King, Bhumibol Adulyadej, does not reside here but at the Chitralada Palace. This place, which is like the heart of the Thai people, has a fantastic and exotic atmosphere. The towering palaces, pavilions, and temples are all brilliantly decorated with gold leaf, ceramics, and glass, making them dazzling to behold.
- Temple of the Emerald Buddha
Construction began in 1785 when Rama I moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok. The original name of Wat Phra Kaew was Wat Pa Yia, which means Bamboo Forest Temple, and bamboo still grows in every corner of the temple as it did in the past. Unlike other temples, there are no monks' quarters, only well-decorated temple buildings, Buddha statues, and pagodas. The central main hall is called the 'ubosoth', and it houses a mysterious 75cm-tall Emerald Buddha statue. There are three gates to enter the temple, and only the King and Queen can enter through the central gate. Although it is smaller than the other gates, it is the most important symbolic procedure for the Thai people.
