Wat Phra Kaew has a lot of buildings within the precincts of the Grand Palace . It has over 100 buildings with “over 200 years royal history and architectural experimentation” linked to it.

The main temple is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. The main building is the central ubosoth, which houses the statue of Emerald Buddha. That is simply the Jadeite statue, but it is adorned with sets of gold. There are three different sets of gold clothing, which are changed by the King of Thailand or a liaison in a ceremony at the changing of the seasons. The three sets of gold garments correspond to Thailand's summer season, rainy season, and cool season.

The compound walls are decorated with typically Thai murals, based on the Indian epic Ramayana.

In Thai language these murals are known to form the Ramakian, the Thai national epic, which was written during the reign of King Rama. The epic stories formed the basic information to draw the paintings during the reign of King. These paintings are refurbished regularly. The murals, in 178 scenes, starting with the north gate of the temple illustrates the complete epic story of Ramayana sequentially, in a clockwise direction covering the entire compound wall. The murals serve to emphasise human values of honesty, faith, and devotion.
