“the Emerald Buddha image was found.”
Wat Phra Kaew was formerly called Wat Pa Yia (bamboo forest), this is where the Emerald Buddha image was found. Thus the name of the temple was derived.
In the main prayer hall tands a huge bronze Buddha image in the posture of "sub-duing mara, or demon". This is commonly known as Phra-Chao Lan Thong in Chiang Rai. It was transferred from Wat Phra Chao Lan Thong to this temple in 1961. The main hall itself was built in 1960 in the neo-Lanna style with double-tiered roof decorates with colored glass along the eaves and the beams. The front portal posts and gable are decorated with intricate golden patterns. The doors are showpieces of northern wood-carving techniques.
The museum is located on Trirat Road across from Overbrook Hospital.
It operates seven days a week from 9.00 to 17.00 o’clock.
