Wat Phra Kaew Noi is a royal temple built by King Rama IV on Khao Wang hill in Phetchaburi. Known as the “Little Emerald Buddha Temple,” it features a marble ordination hall with intricate royal and floral designs, and forms part of the Phra Nakhon Khiri palace complex.
Unfortunately currently closed due to restoration, however, you still can see it from the outside.
