An ancient Bronze Buddha statue in Wat Phra Kaew in Chiang Rai, Thailand

Wat Phra Kaew in Chiang Rai, Thailand, is the city’s most sacred temple due to it being the origin of the journey of the Emerald Buddha – Thailand’s most sacred treasure. Located in the temple’s ubosot (main shrine) is this ancient Bronze Buddha which is believed to be over 600 years old. I was quite impressed by the beauty of the shrine when I entered the ubosot, and this ancient Buddha certainly has a significant presence in the room.
