- The Emerald Buddha
Historical sources indicate that the statue surfaced in northern Thailand in the Lannathai kingdom in 1434. One account of its discovery tells that lightning struck a pagoda in a temple in Chiang Rai, after which, something became visible beneath the stucco. The Buddha was dug out, and the people believed the figurine to be made of emerald, hence its name. King Sam Fang Kaen of Lannathai wanted it in his capital, Chiang Mai, but the elephant carrying it insisted, on three separate occasions, on going instead to Lampang. This was taken as a divine sign and the Emerald Buddha stayed in Lampang until 1468, when it was finally moved to Chiang Mai, where it was kept at Wat Chedi Luang.
The Emerald Buddha remained in Chiang Mai until 1552, when it was taken to Luang Prabang, then the capital of the Lao kingdom of Lan Xang. Some years earlier, the crown prince of Lan Xang, Setthathirath, had been invited to occupy the vacant throne of Lannathai. However, Prince Setthathirath also became king of Lan Xang when his father, Photisarath, died. He returned home, taking the revered Buddha figure with him. In 1564, King Setthathirath moved it to his new capital at Vientiane.[1]

In 1779, the Thai General Chao Phraya Chakri put down an insurrection, captured Vientiane and returned the Emerald Buddha to Siam, taking it with him to Thonburi. After he became King Rama I of Thailand, he moved the Emerald Buddha with great ceremony to its current home in Wat Phra Kaew on 22 March 1784. It is now kept in the main building of the temple, the Ubosoth.
Gold clothing
The Emerald Buddha itself is simply the Jadeite statue,[2] but it is adorned with garments made 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 -- in the 1st Waning of Lunar Months 4, 8 and 12 (around March, July and November). The three sets of gold garments correspond to Thailand's summer season, rainy season, and cool season. The two sets of gold clothing not in use at any given time are kept on display in the nearby Pavilion of Regalia, Royal Decorations and Thai Coins on the grounds of the Grand Palace, where the public may view them.
Thank you for this beautiful video you have created
Was just there viewing the statue at the Grand Place. Thanks for sharing the History to it.
ตกลงพระเเก้วเป็นของลาวหรือไทยครับ😅😅
Thailand ever did help to the Lao people so why Lao blaming their brothers ? Here is a great piece of history ! If you really love Emerald Buddha then pay respect but not come here to blame each other ,please.If you are a real believer , a real Buddhist man why dare to use bad words against Thais ? Lao & Thai = Brothers ! Me l do pay my respect to you both. Thailand has a great history ; We cannot return back in time to change it . Laos been the most heavily bombed country on Earth ; We cannot get back the thousands of wasted lives. All we can do is to pay respect to our ancestors then to carefully choose the best leaders for out future. Sawasdee Krup , Sa Ba Dee ! Salut [hello] from Romania !
Lao nationalism you are.
Lan Na As Thai people we are not Cambodian and where ever you got that information from they are wrong. And if you believe in their theory you are wrong.
AND NOW SIAMESE IS INDEPENDENT NATION NEVER COLONIZED, RICHER, MORE DEVELOPED AND SMARTER WHEN COMPARED TO STUPID RURAL PEOPLE LIKE YOU. Lan Na Bitch! HAHAHA
"almost half of Thai language is Khmer" ??????????? Most THAI word is a single word like TAI word. Khmer language is used only in royal vocabulary and small amout of THAI word and alomost of them are derived from the same root (bali and sanskrit language) not pure Khmer. AND THAI ppl can communicate smoothly with Chaing Mai ppl and Chaing Rai ppl or even LAO PDR ppl. BUT THAI ppl and CAMBODIAN ppl ALMOST MISUNDERSTAND each other. PLEASE DON'T SHOW YOUR FOOLISHNESS Lan Na IDIOT.!!!
Lan Na The blend of international people is the strong characteristic of siamese state that create unique, strong, flexible, powerful thailand throughout the history. Although siam were colonized by neighboring nation, it was a short period of time and siam can conquer all of these INFERIOR nations at the end. The most PITIFUL of colonization is WESTERN colonization that Thailand had NEVER been!!!!! . YOU !!! Lan Na NEVER be a REAL INDEPENTDENT nation. You are weak and ALWAYS born to be a SLAVE of powerful state around you. LOL!!!!! Learn your history too!!!!!
A very interesting video. Thank you
I am half blood Thai and Lao Isan. I think that we should love together. I respect Thai and I respect Lao too. Why Lao and Thai can speak together? Because we have the similar language. Why we have the same language because we have the similar ancestor. We is the family just forget the bad history that is the pass.
King of Cambodia sent 10000 troops to escort the emerald Buddha to Laos when the princess married a Laos prince. They were supposed to spread Buddhism with it. If was sent from sri Lanka. Thai ended up capturing it. It was taken from Laos. Khmer and Laos had very close relations with cambodia during the time when Thai rebelled.
Talk nonsense. The emerald buddha as nothing to do with Cambodia. If it lao , probably yes.
How tremendous fake history you Cambodian people got in your history books is always amazed by me. The emerald Buddha is a Chiangmai Saen (which is in Thailand today) art nothing to do with neither Loas nor your country at all!

General Chao Phraya Chakri - ordinary man - announced himself to be King Rama I of Thailand.
In 1779, the Thai General Chao Phraya Chakri put down an insurrection, captured Vientiane and looted the Emerald Buddha to Siam, taking it with him to Thonburi. After he became King Rama I of Thailand, he moved the Emerald Buddha with great ceremony to its current home in Wat Phra Kaew on 22 March 1784. It is now kept in the main building of the temple, the Ubosoth.
200 years ago, Chao Anouvong - Laos King brought back Pra-Keo to Laos.
You're really sick and deluded! Need to see a doctor. First off, the first king of any dynasty in the world was a common person who possessed power and out-shined in his strength and power. No was born a king in the first place. The founder of a dynasty, whether in Europe or in Laos, was a common person. So what is wrong with General Chao Phraya Chakri.
Second, Anouvong did not take the Pra-Keo back to Laos. The image was taken to Siam during the reign of King Taksin, and was moved to Bangkok in 1784 as stated in the video. Anouvong was taken to Bangkok and was raised in the Thai Court. He was a friend of King Rama III, and King Rama III even supported the appointment of Anouvong's son to be ruler of Champasak in spite of disapproval by several influential courtiers then. During the reign of King Rama II, Anouvong was appointed ruler of Vientiane, a vasal state then. At the same time Anouvong also vowed allegiance to the Hue mandala, a common practice at the time. When a request by Anouvong for the return of court entertainers which were relocated in Sara Buri was rejected, Anouvong decided to rebel against the Siamese Kingdom and was finally suppressed. So there was no evidence that he took the Emerald Buddha to Laos.
Thai and Lao people originally came from the same Tai language group in Southern China. When they migrated south, they did not come in one large group at the same time. They came in batches and at different time. They met with indigenous people and mixed with them. Those who went north adopted the Chinese culture and today they are settled in Vietnam. Those who moved south and settled in northern Thai, formed what was called the Lanna Kingdom, those who settled in the area of the Mae Khong River formed the Lan Xang Kingdom, and those who moved further south formed the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya Kingdoms. The land on which latter three kingdoms was founded was onced occupied by the Khmer (Lan Xang and Sukhothai) and Mon and Khmer ( Ayutthaya. AT first the Tai were a minority and later they became more powerful and defeated the indigenous. These Tai people adopted the culture and religions of the people they conquered and interracial marriage was the norm. Ayutthaya, though ruled by the people they considered themselves as Siamese, was a multicultural kingdom. These Tai people were different in their own culture and language because of their mix with the local people, different geographical terrain, and religious practice peculiar to the groups. Siamese could not be considered pure blood because of interracial marriages--Mon, Khmer, Malay, Indian, etc. Because of its multiculturalism, the word Siam was exclusive. During the period of nationalism--the fight against western imperialism, the name of the country was changed to Thailand to include all ethnic groups and make them feel that they belong to the same country.
PRECIOUS BEYOND WORDS ...
Anyone knows the music to the video? Thanks
According to the legend, the Emerald Buddha (Phra Kaeo Morakot),was created in 43 BC by a saint named Nagasena in the city of Pataliputra (today's Patna), India. ]..[ after remaining in Pataliputra for three hundred years, it was taken to Sri Lanka to save it from a civil war.]..[ in 457, King Anuruth of Burma sent a mission to Ceylon to ask for Buddhist scriptures and the Emerald Buddha, in order to support Buddhism in his country ]..[ but the ship lost its way in a storm during the return voyage and landed in Cambodia.When the Thais captured Angkor Wat in 1432 ]..[the Emerald Buddha was taken to Ayutthaya, Kamphaeng Phet, Laos and finally Chiang Rai, where the ruler of the city hid it until it was found in 1434 (in the Lannathai Kingdom) - Ref extracts Wikipedia Emerald Buddha
The Siamese took the Emerald Buddha from Laos, not Cambodia.Wikipedia is an unreliable and unacceptable source of information If used in reference.
@@ohreallyandthen189 You misread! "Thais captured Angkor Wat in 1432 ]..[the Emerald Buddha was taken to Ayutthaya, Kamphaeng Phet, Laos and finally Chiang Rai "
And what are your serious and verifiable sources to assert that Wikipedia is supposedly an unreliable and unacceptable source of information ?
@@didierroux4596 I searched for information on Khmer Emerald Buddha images for historical records but came across many supernatural tales.
Phra Kaeo - Phra Ko from the Khmer side seems to be a one-sided written history and is an oral narrative. It also created a supernatural exaggeration that the Phra Ko Phra Kaew was able to transform which, in principle, cannot even be counted as historical evidence because Thailand and Laos have no mention of your country at all. There is no record of Siam that Ayutthaya and Kamphaeng Phet ever received Phra Kaeo from Angkor era before , there is only received from Lao Lan Xang .
@@didierroux4596 Another thing is the Emerald Buddha in the Thai Royal Palace. The Emerald Buddha is a Buddha image carved from soft, emerald-green nephrite jade. Jade is the most found gem in Burma and Northern Thailand in which the Lanna Kingdom (Northern,Thailand) and Burma have a border, there has been a trade since the past and Burmese and Lanna people often carve jade into jewelry and valuables, while Thai Siam tends to use gold and other non-jade gemstones. Lao people as well. Most of them use gold and silver. Also, I tried searching for gem information in Cambodia. Cambodia has gems like rubies and sapphires, there are many other types of gemstones in Cambodia. But your country has no emeralds, no jade and no diamonds. Then how can the Emerald Buddha belong to Cambodia?
@@didierroux4596 Both the art of carving Buddha images, which is the northern Thai Chiang Saen style of art, and the material used to carve this Buddha image that's jade, Jade is often used in the northern Thailand more than other regions. According to both Thai and Lao records that it was obtained from the present Lanna Kingdom of northern Thailand before being taken to Laos and finally confiscated to Siam, it makes more sense than Siam to confiscating it from Cambodia.
Please give Mercy to my sister n brother inlaw and bless them with a healthy baby, because the doctor say they can't have a child please let there be miracle and grant them there wish for a baby
Many of you are unaware of the Rattanbimbavamsa or the chronicle of emerald buddha, please find a copy and read it thoroughly. BTW The Emerald Buddha was in Cambodia indeed but the image itself is not Cambodian art nor was made by Cambodian. We can say The Emerald Buddha was the mutual treasure of Suvarnabhumi, now The Emerald Buddha is in Thailand who knows in the future this image might start traveling again to another land?
Thank u!!! They just base on lies and they teach their generation we the bad ones. Like Thailand or Siam or all them other claims names was just 500 years ago.. they need to return our king jewels gold everything. But history n now can’t. Just a mark left out of history.
Yes, fact.
Is the large statue at the temple Quan Yin
Ai Lao Kingdom was a very big Kingdom in Southeast Asia, which was big as same as Chinese Kingdom. We can see that Ai Lao people are living in Lao PDR, in Thailand, in Chambodia, in Vietnam, in Unan belong to China, in Shane state in Burma and in Assam State in Indian. Please try to visite the Kind of Lao People and you just listen to the Voice of they speak you will feel as your home and you will by cry when you understand them because Lao people are every where in this area.
Lao Buddha bless LaosLiveLongLife
Tommy, You should be shy to write that in 1434, Lanna was Lannathai of Thailand. In that period there was not the word Thailand at all.There were only Kingdom of Lanna, Lanxang and Siam. These three kingdoms had thier own lands and power. Lanna belonged to Yuan people, Lanxang belonged to Lao people. Siam belonged to Siamese. At later time Lanna and Lanxang belonged to a half Yuan and Lao King Saysetthathirath. So he could move the Emeral Buddha to Lanxang without any problems, because his grandfather( previous Lanna king) gave everything to him both land and properties. Even his grand mother Quess Jirapapha and a lot of Yuan people went along with King Saysethathirath to Vienchan to establish the new capital of Lanxang. Then Lanna was lost to Mynmar later time. There was nothing related to Siam at all. After Siam won the war to Lanxang Vientiane, Siamese took it to Bangkok. In Porpiboon Songkam era, he changed the name of Siam to be Thailand. Then there was a word Thailand. No lie.
Angkor king help sethathrith regain Lao land from the Siamese , oh and the words Siamese is a Cambodian words given to the wild tribe, which was the reason why pibonn songkram change to Thailand
Williams B LEE i dont know khmer living in china and burma too becuase they the y also call thai siam even shan state in myanmar is miss spell form word siam maybe they have khjer in myanmar too funny story.
+Mon Ster
Shan and Siam is different, and no they didn't missed spelled anything, shan is shan.
U can also watch one of the documentary made by Thai TV history as to the reason why they change the name to Thailand, one of the reason was that Siam was the old name given to the Thai people by the Khmer.
Williams B LEE
funny what tv?
siam shan is misspell from word tai - lao sum (ซำ) mean the place they found water. loas still use this word until today .
+Mon Ster
They can't be that stupid to missed spelled a country or people, please stop making thing up.
Siam is a Khmer words given to a group of people that were a marauding theft
Laotian are the people around these countries, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma, Unan in China and Assam state in Indian. The Lao People say No in Lao language ບໍ່ ( Bor ) the Laotian has got writing character more than 850 Years old older than Thai-writing characters. The Thai writing character is about 450 Years old. You can see the first Lao-Writing-Character in Luang Prabang National Museum. This show us Laos has got Civilization before Thailand.
laos got their writing system from sukhothai
The Emerald Buddha has been and always will be belonged to Thailand.
😅😅ไม่น่าจะจริงครับช่วงนี้วุ่นวาย
your right mate
Happy Vesak ☸️
But the king of Thailand was born in the U.S. I don't really know if he is a Buddhist.
just forget the bad history that is the pass.we should love together. I respect Thai and I respect Lao too.
Haw Phra Kaew, Wien Chang (Lan Xang)
from the beginning thai and laos were the same people migrated from yunan china before they were thailand thai started from almost nothing but they bluff and take over laos and cambodia land most of thai people land and treasures including cultures came from Laos and cambodia thai is just a name they made up it means tribes or group of people in Laos language to make tribal groups of Laos people confused that they think they are thai after they changed the name to become thailand
Hi dear Laos , (IF) the Emerald Buddha had been in the Lao PDR , Could you make sure that 'France' won't to take the Emerald Buddha to their country? Do you make me sure? and during 'the Communism was still shining in Asia (Especially in Lao)' could you save/protect the Emerald Buddha from the Communism theory? ,I 'm not sure ,because the Communism theory ='has NO The Religions' + has no any kings', if Emerald B. was still lives in Lao, no wonder it maybe lost like Laos King :),so..LET IT BE.
We still have the golden buddha in Laung Prabang given to the first King of Lan Xang from the Ancient Khemer Empire.
who did
How come it landed in Cambodia on its way to Burma? It has to go thru Malacca Strait to go Cambodia..
its a legend
this is the real buddha peter jack bunma
As a mix of both Thai and Laotian I can honestly say that Laotians and Thais disliking each other is like.. Just an opinion, my family gets a long just fine, and so does the rest of the Lao and Thai community.
Thailand Have more power.To win lao
Please do not disturb the development in Lao PDR. Please try to find the way how the Lao people in the Young generation can understand all Lao People around Lao PDR and how we can connect and build a strong Ai Lao Country again. But do not think about doing war. We have to think about how the Lao People can understand us and will connect together. That is the best way. We are in Asia and there will be not border for doing legally think. The clever man will find ways for Lao People as a Unite.
Anything not belong to u don't take it. If u do. They will call u a thief. Thai king knew it but did it anyway.

WHY WOULD YOU BRING IT TO BANGKOK ITS US CHIANG RAI WHO FOUND IT

Emerald Buddha is belong to Lao people ( Name changed thru time, Lanna, Sipsongpanna, lane xane, Lastly, Lao). the word "na" is inseparable from Laos' language, culture, & life. Lane xane is the newly found kingdom by " Vong" dynasty from Lanna. That was how Pra Keo was belong to Laos. 100, or 1000 year Buddha statures are found in Lao Lane Xane kingdom, not in Bankok. But Thai's historians tried very hard to legitimize the case by deleting, misleading, & trivia the history.

As a Lanna people, we are not Laos. We have our own kingdom and culture.
Buddha would be shocked to see his image being dressed up in gold and all kind of riches that can feed the poor. Its so unlike him ....
In Pali canon, which most scholars consider Buddha's contemparary King Udena's wife who became a Buddhist used to worship an image of Buddha made from sandal wood in her private palace with traditional Indian offerings.
Your comment shows that you haven't really studied Buddhism.
ผมจะบอกไว้ให้เขาใจพระแก้วท่านไปอยู่มาหลายประเทศแล้วคับการไปแต่ละที่เป็นการเพยแพ่รพระพุทธศาสนาครับ และประเทศที่พระแก้วท่านจะอยู่ก็ต้องเป็นประเทศที่มีพระพุทธศาสนาเท่านั้นและก็จะมีวัดไว้ฉะเพราะพระแก้วเท่านั้นพระจะไม่สามารถอยู่รวมได้เพราะจะเป็นปาบและอีกอย่างต้องมีพระมหากษัตรปกครองเท่านั้นและพระมหากษัตรจะต้องนับถือพระพุทธศาสนาเท่านั้น
ไม่เกี่ยวหรอก.. พุทธศาสนาไม่ได้จำกัดเฉพาะที่ประเทศไทย
ส่วนที่ว่าพระแก้วจะมีวัดอยู่เฉพาะ เพราะมันเป็นหนึ่งในราชสมบัติ ถ้าพระราชาจะทอดถวายไว้วัดใดวัดหนึ่งจะเป็นไร แต่เนื่องด้วยว่า มันเป็นมรดกทางประวัติศาสตร์ต้องเข้มงวดในการรักษา มันถึงต้องมีที่ประดิษฐานไว้เฉพาะ และมีทหารยาม เหตุผลมันก็มีแค่นี้.. พระผู้มีศีลทรงธรรม จะอยู่ที่ไหนท่านก็ปราศจากบาป ไม่เกี่ยวกันเลย....

Thank 4 this valuable information. What's your opinion thru out the century, Siam made up so many lies & trivia surrounding Emerald Buddha, that Siam is the rightful owner?? Siam is nothing, but a big thieve & robbed everything from the Lao pple. If I am in power of the Laos gov't, i would file a claim to get Emerald Buddha back through a world court; Greece got the statue of Apollo back from Italy when Roman invaded Greece & Macedonia (kingdom of Alexander the great); Greece won the case!!

Emerald Buddha come from Chaing Rai not Laos
Thai bangkok called Lanna and Lanchang - Lao.Lao are Thai noi.
Lan Na Chaing Rai is a Thailand's province not Lao and You must remember in your brain that now the average income per capita of Chaing Rai province is "twice" more than average income per capita of LAO PDR. This is because Chaing Rai became a part of Thailand and benefit from Thailand's development. BITCH!

To me they believe in supernatural or/and superstitions like Phram.
Lao Wiang tong and Lao Wiang Chan ! , I warn you dont trying be silly too much and tell you .. you should ask the emerald b. statue where the country he choose ? even though not ask him ... you also saw he has been chosen thailand .. he chosen ! and if you want him , I am really dont know and not sure that it used to belong to Lao PDR or not ,it was history ... I am ve NO power to order do anything...if you miss him you can get in the grand temple in bkk and pray see him then cry ...he may be see in your heart and thank you to you that visit him :)
❓I got confused while reading!
Why u all keep fighting here?..its only a statue..man made statue..LOL
give back the emerald budha to laos , it wasn't thai anyways, it was took and rob the the thai
Emerald Buddha never belonged to Lao as well. If they want to return it to the real owner, it should be Lanna or northern Thailand not Laos.
Hey I'm Thai and i don't steal so don't say Thai people steal
How did the Emerald Buddha get to Bangkok walked?
@@jakesi8170 yes he did
Laos always talk that Lao pen chon chat tee ying yai ลาวเปนชนชาติที่ยิ่งใหญ่ Lao is the great nation but why just a buddha statue they could not protect ? and why theirs old and new capitals were burned by siam you always big talkative like cambodia but your action always across , thailand had never say thailand is a great country to others before in public ( if the countries are not insult us before) thailand I dare to say thailand people are humble and gentle enough generous to friends , but in the ancient time the people were cruel always killed each other for living and expanded the land much as much they can do , now the big area is not the importance thing and hard to control like ancient time ,no one in thailand want to cruel doing to the others before .

It was never Siam's to begin with. It was Lanna Thai's and it's a different kingdom. That Kingdom had ties to Lan Xang. To say it was returned to Siam is not correct. Get it right man.
Jake Si wana race?
It was in chiangrai, then later chiangrai is with bangkok siam, so it makes sense.
The statue was looted from Angkor wat cambodia in 1425 when the Thai first ransack Angkor, the Khmer was the builder of great building, monument and great article that produce this fine work of art.
Nothing just appear by it self don't be stupid.
Sorry good try , Angkor wat is india temple. This is Budda.
+tommy somphone
Originally a Hindu temple but turn Buddhist in the late 1270s
Good try for you for trying to erase stolen Angkor from your history book but the truth is you don't know where it's from and we do and the Khmer was the oldest and the master builder of sacred object and left many stone building for history and for generation to come and none the Thai or the Lao has left any evident or build any building to say that they could possibly made these object.
Only the Burmese and the Khmer left evident of all these amazing building and object for the wold to see.
+Williams B LEE Sorry Angkor Wat is too big and too pretty for this little Budda. good try. make sure y know the difference between Hindu and Buddhist.
I think u better learn a bit more a bout the history of Asian Buddhism and Hinduism how it come to be at present day, and for your uneducated info, sacred object not made of quantity but quality, it might be small but it has quality stone.

Who tf is Laotian.
It's easy for a thief to say, "let it be". Not so easy for those that got stole from. We missed our Sacred Emerald Buddha. WE also realize that it's not realistic to get it back peacefully. So our King did something that the Thai kingdom once did to our Kingdom. We cursed them.
We were cursed by the Thai kingdom to not ever be prosperous. In return, our kingdom cursed the Thai kingdom with turmoil and unrest.....guess what?
No country is perfect. Not Laos, not Thailand and not ANY country on this planet.
In regards to your comments about Laos being run by Vietnamese morons, I agree with you on that.
Laos had its shares of unrest. But not at levels of and frequencies like Thailand. It's stable...for now....
I will say it like I see it. If you said something that's true, I'll tell you you're right. If I disagreed with you, I'll also let you know. I'm not going to pretend.
We can debate history all day. Truth is, history is subjective. It's taught differently, and from the perspectives of each side. So....you called me this and I called you that. Fact is, This figure had been taken away during war. Not a gift. No one expects to ever see it in Laos ever again. We want to....but reality is different from dreams.
I stand by my comments. I respect yours too. You defend what you think is right. I will do the same.
***** I don't think the Democracy is better than Communist, Democracy or Democrat is far from the true and far a way from the Perfect.!! what kind the voices you have??? are they listen to you..? what kind freedom you have...??????
Thailand did not steal it. In the old days, when wars were waged, and the conquers had to make sure that the defeated would not rise and caused the trouble again, the man power had to be relocated, the city had to be emptied and its man power added to the conquerors, the valuables had to be confiscated. In this case, the Buddha image was taken as part of the the confiscated. Laos could not blame the Thai for taking it because the Lao army could not protect and defend the county. It's Anouvong's fault to begin the insurrection in the first place , which led him to his death and to the demise of the Wiang Chan Kingdom. The price or the trophy for the conqueror. This image would change hand in the future if Thailand failed to keep it.
You cannot change history--why fret over the loss. Time has lapsed for hundreds of years. History is for us to learn about our mistakes, not to repeat it again. It's not for us to dwell on them too much that we lose to see the light of the future.
I disagreed. You know the truth don’t try to change the story.
