3. Temple of the Emerald Buddha
The Emerald Buddha, located in Wat Phra Kaew at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, is one of Thailand's most sacred and revered artifacts. Carved from a single block of jade, the statue stands about 66 cm tall and is believed to have been created in the 14th century. Despite its name, it is not made of emerald but of green jade or jasper. The Emerald Buddha has a long and mysterious history, with its origins often debated, though it is thought to have originated in northern Thailand, Laos, or India before being brought to Bangkok. The statue is dressed in seasonal robes, which are changed three times a year by the King of Thailand in an important royal ceremony, symbolizing the changing seasons and the close connection between the monarchy and the nation's well-being. The Emerald Buddha is not just a religious icon but also a national symbol, representing prosperity and protection for the Thai people.

Named after the Hindu god Aruna, symbolizing the dawn, Wat Arun has been a prominent landmark since the Ayutthaya period. It was expanded during the reign of King Rama II.
