Today is marked by the highlights of Bangkok, also known as "The City of Angels." What Pho , built in the 16th century and located in the historic district of Rattanakosin Island, is right opposite the Grand Palace. It houses several important buildings, including the oldest public educational centre in the country, a Thai medicine school, the birthplace of the Thai massage, the largest collection of Buddha statues in Thailand and the largest Buddha statue in the country. Take a short walk to the Royal Palace, one of Thailand's most recognizable and historically important sights. The Palace was built in 1782, after King Rama I, the founder of the Chakri dynasty, had moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok. What Phra Kaew, often known as the Temple of the Emerald Green Buddha, is here, along with government buildings, the Royal Residence and the Throne Rooms. The Emerald Green Buddha, an image of the meditating Buddha made of jade or jasper instead of emerald, stands at this special location and is Thailand's most famous Buddha statue. A relaxing boat ride across the canals gives you a completely new perspective on the city's past and present. As you sail along the oldest part of the Chao Phraya River, you see beautiful temples such as the Emerald Green Buddha and the Temple of Dawn. The construction of this Buddhist temple lasted from 1809 to 1851 and it is named after Arun, the Hinduized of the Dawn.
