Note:
The Ramakien (The Glory of Rama) is one of Thailand's national epics, originally derived from the Hindu Ramayana. The current design is based on a 19th century mural of the Ramakien, located in Wat Phra Kaew, Bangkok. The epic is painted in 178 scenes and spans the walls surrounding the entire temple compound.
