A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE.
Living in Bangkok, Thailand for 20 years, I endeavour to share my experience with The Grand Palace Bangkok, Emerald Buddha Temple Bangkok -(Wat Phra Kaew), Reclining Buddha Temple Bangkok -(Wat Pho). I can only hope that people visiting this auspicious Thai cultural attraction will get the utmost benefit and enjoyment from their visit.
Whilst I was meditating in front of The Emerald Buddha in 2015 I was overwhelmed with an incredibly profound powerful loving and peaceful experience, one that could not be from me, one which truly affected me on a fundamental level. To this day I struggle to intellectually conceive how an object can emanate such an incredibly blissful and loving energy.
I can only conclude The Emerald Buddha has been blessed by a highly evolved spiritual being, possibly The Buddha himself.
The lineage and origins of The Emerald Buddha, in part is unclear, what is certain, it is greatly revered from the Royal family to Thai nationals alike, as Thailand’s utmost precious religious icon, for good reason.
A cultural phenomenon and truly a once in a lifetime experience.

The Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) in the Grand Palace itself is the main attraction. A figurine of the meditating Buddha made from a solid one piece of green jade, clothed in gold and diamonds. It is greatly revered from the Royal family to Thai nationals alike, as Thailand’s utmost precious religious icon...
RECLINING BUDDHA
The Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho) is located 700 meters south of The Grand Palace. Its a world-renowned 46 meter long gold plated reclining Buddha. Its pose is representing entry into complete spiritual enlightenment ending all worldly reincarnations. Within the surrounding corridor there are 108 bronze bowls representing the 108 auspicious characteristics of The Buddha. It is believed dropping coins into these bowls brings wealth and prosperity...
