The renowned Emerald Buddha in Thailand has the name "Phra Kaew Morakot" (Thai: พระแก้วมรกต) or the official name "Phra Buddha Maha Mani Rattana Patimakon" (Thai: พระพุทธมหามณีรัตนปฏิมากร). 45 cm tall, the Chiang-Saen-style Emerald Buddha is made of green jade (rather than emerald) and now enshrined in Wat Phra Kaew, Bangkok, within the precincts of the Grand Palace. In March, July, November, which are three months marking the beginning of Thailand's three seasons-hot season, rainy season, and cool season-respectively, the costume-changing ceremony of the Emerald Buddha will be held by the King of Thailand or the crown prince.
