Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram (Wat Phra Kaew)

Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram, or commonly known as Wat Phra Kaew, is a temple that King Rama I ordered to be built at the same time as the establishment of Rattanakosin in 1782. It is a temple in the Grand Palace, similar to Wat Phra Si Sanphet, which was a temple in the Royal Palace during the Ayutthaya period. His Majesty intended Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram to be the place where the Phra Phuttha Maha Mani Ratana Patimakorn was enshrined and where he performed royal merit-making. Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram is a temple where there are no monks residing during the Buddhist Lent because there is only the Buddhavasa area and no Sanghavasa area. Inside Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram, there are many important buildings and accompanying buildings. Therefore, the buildings are divided into 3 groups according to their position and importance as follows: The Ubosot group is the most important group. The Ubosot is the main building where the Phra Phuttha Maha Mani Ratana Patimakorn is enshrined, surrounded by the surrounding pavilions, Phra Phothat Phiman, and the Ratchaphong Sanuson Hall.
