Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew)

Wat Phra Kaew (also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha) is Thailand's most important Buddhist temple, completed in 1783 under the patronage of King Rama. It was once the private chapel of the kings of Thailand and members of the court. 

The exterior of the building is covered entirely in gilding and glass mosaic in a floral motif called kanok, which was used during the Ayutthaya period (1351–1767).
