 TOP TIP: THE EMERALD BUDDHA IS LOCATED IN THE GRAND PALACE.
A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE.

Residing in Bangkok for over 27 years, and as a devoted disciple of a globally revered Yogi, I feel deeply inspired to share the transformative experience of visiting the Grand Palace and the sacred Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew).

During meditation before the Emerald Buddha, I was overcome by an indescribably profound sense of joy, peace, and spiritual bliss.

 

The experience led me to believe that the Emerald Buddha is imbued with the blessings of a highly evolved spiritual Avatar—perhaps even the Buddha himself.

​

 

While the lineage of the Emerald Buddha’s origin remain shrouded in mystery, one thing is clear: it is deeply revered—by the Thai Royal Family and citizens alike—as:

 

Thailand’s most sacred and treasured religious icon.

​

The Grand Palace, once the official residence of Thai kings, is a breathtaking complex of courtyards filled with majestic, awe-inspiring examples of royal Thai architecture spanning centuries.

​

​

The Reclining Buddha at Wat Pho located just 700 metres south of the Grand Palace, is a world-famous 46-metre-long gold-plated statue. Its serene posture symbolises the Buddha’s final passage into complete spiritual enlightenment, marking liberation from all cycles of rebirth and worldly attachments.​
