    Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Ubosoth) is a particularly beautiful temple. Shoes off and hat off.

      The Buddha himself is small and difficult to see. The story about his clothing and the enthusiasm with which the Thais talk about it is interesting, even if kneeling on marble floors is not very pleasant

        The Temple of the Emerald Buddha, also known as Wat Phra Kaew, is one of the holiest and most famous temples in Bangkok. The Ubosoth is the main sanctuary within this temple, where the famous Emerald Buddha statue is housed. This temple contains numerous elaborate sculptures, reliefs, and figures depicting Buddhist teachings and Thai mythology. I'm not directly aware of a specific "hermit" figure in this context, but there are many depictions of monks, sages, and spiritual figures that appear in temple art.
