[Introduction to historical attractions]
- Palace
The building is the official residence where the king has stayed since the 18th century. Construction began in 1782 when King Rama I moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok, and the imperial palace continued to expand through several expansion projects. However, the current king, Bhumibol Adulyadej, does not stay here, but resides in Chitralda Palace. This place, the heart of the Thai people, has a fantastic and exotic atmosphere. The towering palaces, pavilions and temples are all dazzling, decorated with gilded leaves, porcelain and glass.
- emerald temple
It began in 1785 when King Rama I moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok. Wat Phra Kaew's original name was Wat Pa Yia, which means bamboo forest temple, and just like its old name, bamboo grows in every corner of the temple. Unlike other temples, there is no temple where monks live, and only a well-decorated temple building, Buddha statue, and pagoda exist. The main hall in the center is called ‘Ubosoth’ and houses a mysterious 75cm high statue of the Emerald Buddha. There are three gates into the temple, with the central gate allowing only the king and queen to enter. Although it is smaller than other gates, it is the most important symbolic procedure for Thai people. - Dawn Temple
It is located in Prang, a Khmer-style pagoda in the center, and is one of the important geographical landmarks in the city. The view from up here is known to be very beautiful. It is widely known as the “Temple of Dawn” because the sunrise sunlight illuminates the porcelain in the temple’s spire, creating a brilliant rainbow. The steeply rising tower has a two-story terrace structure, with four satellite towers standing outside, ranging in height from 66.8m to 86m. The surface of this pagoda is decorated with shells and kaolin that was laid by ships traveling between China and Thailand. - Bang Pa-in Summer House
It was originally built in 1632 as a summer residence previously used by Thai kings, but most of the current buildings were built between 1872 and 1889, making it a representative summer residence for kings, with huge gardens and beautifully landscaped landscaping. The palace consists of an inner palace and an outer palace bordering the island. The inner palace on the island mainly houses residential buildings, and the outer palace outside the island houses buildings for office functions and is connected by a bridge. It was built based on the traditional architectural styles of the countries that King Churalongkorn visited, and various buildings, including architectural styles from various European countries and China, along with traditional Thai buildings, provide a wonderful view.
- Wat Mahathat
It was restored and rebuilt several times after the Ayutthaya period, but collapsed in 1904. Restoration work carried out by the Ministry of Culture's Fine Arts Department in 1956 unearthed a number of relics from the stupa, including relics of the Buddha's body, other Buddha statues, and votive offerings, and are now on display in other museums.
- Wat Phra Si Sanset
It was built in the 15th century to worship the three kings of Ayutthaya, and in 1500, during the reign of Ramathipodi II, a huge 16-meter-tall Buddha statue was carved and its surface covered with gold (approximately 170 kg). When it was invaded by Burma in 1767, Ayutthaya, the capital at the time, suffered a lot of damage. At this time, the Buddha statue was set on fire to melt the gold on its surface, and not only the temple but also the Buddha statue was engulfed in flames. The three remaining Ceylonese style towers were restored to their original condition in 1956.
- Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon
This temple was built in 1357 by King Uthung for the meditation of monks who returned from studying abroad in Sri Lanka. It is famous for its huge reclining Buddha and Tsedi, a pagoda. Inside the 70m tall pagoda, there is a place where you can drop gold or coins and make a wish, and Buddha statues are lined up on three sides around the pagoda as if they were gathered together and meditating.
