Wat Phra Kaew Chiang Rai Thailand 🇹🇭

Wat Phra Kaew is one of the most historically important temples in Chiang Rai.

Founded at some point prior to the end of the 14th Century as Wat Pa Yiah, Temple Of The Bamboo Grove. Later to be renmed as Wat Phra Kaew, Temple Of The Emeral Buddha.

In 1434AD lightning struck the temple pagoda (Phra Chedi) cracking it to reveal the Emerald Buddha. This event caused the people of Chiang Rai to rename the temple Wat Phra Kaew, Temple Of The Emeral Buddha.

The Emerald Buddha now resides in the sanctuary at Wat Phra Sri Ratana Sasdaram in the Grand Palace, Bangkok.
