In the Royal Palace of Bangkok is one of the most revered Buddhist images, of the entire world. More than three million people visit that temple every year. It was the original master of most Buddhist images carved in later centuries around South East Asia. The Emerald Buddha has been a part of Bangkok for more than 360 years. Yet, behind the magnificent carved statue is a tale of human struggle, desire for power and veneration of the divine. This book is the folklore and actual history of that image. From the time it was sculptured in 43BCE, the amazing journeys through Asia and the strange incidents around this image. From India to the fabled Land of Gold - Suvarnabhumi. There were disasters at sea, there were wars and the desires of Kings. Those that desired it, and never even had the honour to see it. Through the ages this image of the Emerald Buddha did indeed had a mind-set of its own. "The truth is stranger than Fiction"
