Temple Haw Pha Kaew photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow The temple Haw Pha Kaew, also known as Wat Phra Kaeo, has a very controversial past.
The Emerald Buddha would end up staying there for over two hundred years until it was
taken back to Siam by Phraya Chakri, the future King Rama I of Thailand, in 1778 and
placed in Bangkok’s Wat Phra Kaeo.
