FUN IN THAILAND : The Grand Temple & The Grand Palace

THE GRAND TEMPLE IN BANGKOK
The King Rama I, first king of Chakri Dynasty, had ordered the construction of the temple within the Grand Palace, in accordance with the ancient tradition, and named the temple "Wat Phrasrirattana Sassadaram".










THE TRADITIONAL THAI MURAL PAINTINGS
The mural paintings on the walls of the gallery surrounding the Temple of the Emerald Buddha(Grand Temple) depict the various avatar of Phra Narai as well as the complete story of the Ramakian. The murals were first executed in the reign of King Rama I the Great after his coronation as the first king of Chakri Dynasty. He also directed that the gallery surrounding the chapel be decorated with murals depicting scenes from the "Story of Ramakian" which he had composed himself in 1982. Some of the murals, are well-known and almost often adapted for performance in the "Khon", or masked play.
