- Cover photo description:
- Phra Sumen Fort built in 1783 to defend against potential naval invasions and named for the mythical Mt Meru Phra Sumen in Thai of Hindu-Buddhist cosmology, the octagonal brick-and-stucco bunker was one of 14 city watchtowers that punctuated the old city wall alongside Khlong Rop Krung. Apart from Mahakan Fort, this is the only one still standing. Alongside the fort and fronting the river is a small, grassy park with an open-air pavilion, river views, cool breezes. Wat Phra Kaew is regarded as the most sacred Buddhist temple in Thailand. The Emerald Buddha housed in the temple is a potent religio-political symbol and the palladium protective image of Thai society.It is located in Phra Nakhon District, the historic centre of Bangkok, within the precincts of the Grand Palace.
