Chedi at Wat Phra Kaew
This is a picture of one of the chedis (stupas) at Wat Phra Kaew (the Temple of The Emerald Buddha). You can see that this chedi has 20 corners (five on each side, times four), which is typical of Rattanakosin style chedis.
This chedi is covered with gold lacquer and it is quiet impressive standing next to it when the rays of the sunshine make it shine brightly.
Also, look at the skillful and detailed craftmanship that went into the mosaic covering the statue.
