Wat Phra Kaew was built to house the
Emerald Buddha which was returned to Thailand after Thailand’s
the capture of Vientiane in 1778. The Emerald Buddha is the most
important representation of the Buddha in Thai Buddhism. To pray
before the Emerald Buddha is to make merit, and although this is
an important place on any visitor’s itinerary, it is important
to recognise that this is a place of worship and should be
respected as such.
This oval public ground in front of the Grand Palace enclave is
used for various royal ceremonies, including the Royal Ploughing
Ceremony each May, and is edged by several noteworthy
institutions
.
On the southeast corner is the City Pillar Shrine or San Lak
Muang placed there by King Rama I as the foundation stone for
the new capital of Bangkok.
A vast open ground
situated near the northern wall of the Grand
Palace and the eastern wall of the former
Viceroy Palace or Wang Na. At the time when
Bangkok was first established, the ground was a
rice field and was sometimes used as a location
for a royal crematorium, Phra Men in Thai. The
ground was, thus, otherwise called as Thung Phra
Men which means the crematorium ground. In
considering that the name was inauspicious, King
Rama IV had the ground renamed as Thong Sanam
Luang, or the Royal Ground, and the rice farming
there cancelled. Later, King Rama V had the Wang
Nas eastern wall demolished and the area of
Sanam Luang enlarged to cover a total of 78 rai
as it does nowadays. The place has been used as
the crematorium ground for kings, members of the
royal family and nobility, in addition, to being
a royal sporting ground. The king also had 365
tamarind trees planted around it.
