| Wat Phra Kaew (Thai: à ¸§à ¸±à ¸âà ¸žà ¸£à ¸°à ¹Âà ¸Âà ¹â°Ã ¸§) is a third-common-class royal temple situated in the area of 10,640 square metres on Trairat road, Wiang sub-district, Muang Chiang Rai in Chiang Rai City, Thailand. Wat Phra Kaew is one of the old and most revered Buddhist temples in Chiang Rai. It is unclear when the temple was founded. The temple was originally called Wat Pa Yeah or Wat Pa Yah as it was surrounded by a dense yellow bamboo grove locally known as Yeah or Yah. In 1434 the templeââ¬â¢s octagonal Chedi (Pagoda) was struck by lightning and it fell apart to reveal Phra Kaew Morakot, the Emerald Buddha, which was hidden inside it. The temple had been thus called Wat Phra Kaew after the name of this holy Buddha image up until then. |
