"We headed over the road to see the Royal Palace. There were just two structures that were accessible to us, the crowning ordinance room and The Silver Pagoda. The Silver Pagoda is acclaimed for the 500 kg of silver that brighten the floor of the sanctuary and the two Buddha statues, initial a 90 kg strong gold man-sized statue improved with more than 2,000 precious stones and a littler a little seventeenth century baccarat gem Buddha. The structures were pleasant yet we felt that there was something lacking – it appeared as though they were attempting to make the numbers rather then making an adjusted and lovely space."

Khmer and European components and unmistakable compositional echoes of the royal residence in Bangkok are available in the configuration of the different structures.

Connected to the Palace compound, Wat Preah Keo Morokat (the 'Silver Pagoda') is one of a kind amongst pagodas. So named for its silver tiled floor, it is the place the King meets with ministers, Royal functions are performed and it houses a gathering of precious Buddhist and recorded articles including the 'Emerald Buddha.' And, not at all like most pagodas, no friars live at the pagoda. The sanctuary building, library and displays were initially developed somewhere around 1892 and 1902
