ภาพรวมในแผนผังของวัด (ควรใช้แผนพับแผนที่วัดประกอบ)
Now, before we walk around the temple, let’s talk about the perspective of its ground plan. This temple faces to the East. The compound is in rectangular shape and we can visually divide it into three main parts: north, center and south. Here, section in the south stands the magnificent chapel housing the Emerald Buddha; the section in the center is imposingly raised with a large platform with three important religious structures standing in a row: the golden stupa, the scripture hall and the royal pantheon. Another section (over there) in the north is lined with three buildings and we will see them later.
