Considering the Central River House Resort in Chiang Rai?

"A" Emerald Buddha... by kenmerk
Well, this is not the "THE" Emerald Buddha, as THE emerald buddha is now in residence in Bangkok at the Grand Palace, and last I looked (1994 or so....) you weren't allow to take pictures of it....
But it is "A" emerald Buddha which is almost an exact duplica of the original... (Actually a Jade Buddha, like the original....) The copy now sits where the original one's first home: The Wat Phra Kaew temple in Chiang Rai. Say what you want, but this is definately one big beautiful hunk of green stone...
