French President Emmanuel Macron, his delegation and members of the foreign media covering the APEC Summit visited Phra Chetuphon Temple, or “Wat Pho”, a Royal temple in Bangkok Friday night.

 

The special guests were treated to a 90-minute tour of the temple, guided by an assistant abbot, who took them to the interior of the temple to see the Phra Maha Chedi Si Rajakarn and the Reclining Buddha.

 

The Phra Maha Chedi Si Rajakarn are a group of four huge pagodas surrounded by white walls with Thai-Chinese style sheltered gates, decorated with colour-glazed tiles and Chinese rockery guardians. 

Each pagoda was built by one of the four kings of the Chakri Dynasty, King Rama I, King Rama II, King Rama III and King Rama IV.
