Wat Phra Kaew, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, is the most sacred site in Thailand, and one of the most popular tourist attractions in Bangkok. I was overwhelmed by the extravagance and beauty of the temple, with it’s incredible colours, art and architecture.

The walls that surround the temple complex are covered in beautiful murals that seem to depict different battle scenes and other important Buddhist events and stories. Here are some photos that I took of a few of these beautiful paintings.
