Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, forms the greatest landmark of Bangkok

The temple houses a famous tiny emerald
Buddha, the most important and sacred one in Thailand. The famous event is the
changing clothes of the statue three times a year in summer, winter and rainy
season. It is can only be performed by the King of Thailand to wish a good
fortune to the country.
Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho)
Located behind the Temple of the Emerald
Buddha, Wat Pho is one of the city’s largest temple complexes. It houses a
46-meter long reclining Buddha – the largest collection in Thailand. The whole
image is covered with gold leaf. Undoubtedly, this Buddha is a must-do for any

center and the birthplace of traditional Thai massage. For that value, the
temple has been list as UNESCO historical site. Until now, the place still teach
and practice traditional Thai massage.

the Grand Palace, so you can visit Wat Pho second. Most visitors would head for
Wat Pho as soon as they enter while visiting time here would be less than the
other part of the complex, so that you can avoid the peak time and make a more
relaxing tour.

such as Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Rong Khun. The jungle of Chiang Mai is the best
habitat for elephant in Thailand. You can have a close contact with these

Wat
Chedi Luang

Old Town, Wat Chedi Luand was built during the reign of King Saen Muang Ma. In
the period of great prosperity, the temple was 60 meters wide and 80 meters
high and once housed the Thailand's most sacred Emerald Buddha. In an earthquake
in 1545, the temple was reduced to half its height, but it was still an
impressive building of the Chiang Mai skyline.
The decorations are very good in the
temple. It’s quite a nice place to see the ancient decoration and old remains
in the walls. Like some other buildings, some buildings here are open to men
only. It’s believed that in Thailand that women are not pure during periods.
Another interesting thing is every day tourists are invited to talk to monks and
ask them anything about Buddhism.

Nga Bay
A prominent feature of Phang Nga Bay is the
limestone karst perched precariously out of the sea leavel. James Bond Island

sheer limestone karst appeared in The Man with the Golden Gun and Star Wars:
Episode lll – Revenge of the Sith. Its distinctive looks very impressed.
