2 reviews of Wat Phra Kaew

Exquisite

It's one of the most important buildings in the country, not only for its history, but also for the school that houses a monastery. It was formerly called Wat Pa Yiah (Bamboo Forest Monastery), but it was changed when the famous Emerald Buddha was discovered hidden in the attic.
