Famously built to house the Emerald Buddha that now resides in Bangkok’s Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Haw Pha Kaew is now a museum of art and historical artefacts. As with other temples the original 16th century structure was destroyed by the Siamese invaders of 1828; it was, however, some 49 years before this, in 1779 that the Emerald Buddha was taken to Bangkok. Said to hold the country’s best pieces of Buddhist art it is well worth a look.
