Description: |
|
Built during the reign of King Borommakot in 1734, the Wat Ko
Kaew Suttharam temple, more commonly known as Wat Ko, has a
relatively simple architecture. Its main interest is the mural
paintaings of his ubosot. On the north wall are represented the
"Seven Great Places" where the Buddha stayed for seven weeks
after his enlightenment except for the scene "under the Bodhi
tree," which is the first of the seven places. On the south wall
are represented the "Eight Great Events" of Buddha's life,
beginning with his birth. There are also paintings of the first
Westerners who came to the Kingdom of Siam. |
