• Creator: His Majesty Chai Phra, King of the Kingdom of Million Elephants, produced it in 1765 after moving the capital from Luang Prabang to Vientiane.

• Purpose: Built as a royal temple and used to enshrine the Emerald King summoned from Chiang Mai, it is a temple where no monks exist.

• Transition: In 1779, Vientiane was shattered by the Siamese army, King King of War (later Reign I) summoned the Emerald Glass down to stay in present-day Bangkok and Bangkok.

• Restoration: The original building has been torn down by several wars. The building seen today is a complete reconstruction of the period 1937-1940 under the control of Chao Suvarnabhuma.

Interesting things and current exhibits.

• National Museum: Now transformed into a museum to house the collection of antiquities and precious carved relics of Laos, the Enshrined Pedestal: Inside still the original carved wooden pedestal used to enshrine the Emerald Glass, the Bronze Buddha: On the periphery terrace surrounded by various ancient Pang bronze Buddhas, in the picturesque million-elephant art, inscriptions and antiquities: there are exhibits of ancient alphabetic inscriptions, and prehistoric bronze basil drums.
