The Emerald Buddha in itself is quite little - even though I knew it was small, I was still surprised by just *how* small. You actually have to look quite hard to find it at first! It's still well worth the effort (and the crowds) for it's cultural and religious significance. The temple complex it's located in is also very... More

I felt amaze with the beauty and work of the whole temple, Its cravint, ceiling, painting walls, The outside and the inside of the temple. Gorgeous. More
