Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall

PUBLISHED March 21st, 2013 12:47 pm | UPDATED March 27th, 2016 12:20 pm

An excellent place to admire the architectural, cultural, and artistic works of the Thai people. Originally built as a royal reception hall during the reign of Rama V, the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall wasn’t completed till 5 years after his death. The building now houses the products and artworks of Queen Sirikit’s Support foundation, while international leaders are still hosted during special occasions like King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s 60th birthday for example.
