This scene from the Ramayana (called the Ramakien in Thailand) illustrates an episode in which the Monkey army, aided by the Queen of the Southern Ocean (Guanyin) and her subjects, builds a bridge of stones from India to Sri Lanka. A complete series of 178 Ramakien paintings covers the entire cloister surrounding Wat Phra Kaeo. The murals were first painted in the late eighteenth century during the rule of King Rama I. They have been restored several times, most recently (as of 2004) in 1987.
