<P> In 1779 , the Thai General Chao Phraya Chakri put down an insurrection , captured Vientiane and took the Emerald Buddha to Siam . It was installed in a shrine close to Wat Arun in Thonburi , its new capital . Chao Phra Chakri then took over the reins and founded the Chakri Dynasty of Rattanakosin Kingdom . He adopted the title Rama I and shifted his capital across the Menam Chao Phra river to its present location in Bangkok , and constructed the new Grand Palace including Wat Phra Kaew within its compound . Wat Phra Kaew was consecrated in 1784 , and the Emerald Buddha was moved with great pomp and pageantry to its current home in the Ubosoth of the Wat Phra Kaew temple complex on 22 March 1784 . </P>
