ArchitecturePhra Thinang Dusit Sawan Thanya Mahaprasat
This throne hall was oriented toward the east. Its main building material is brick and is covered with plaster. The space of the room was divided into 2 sections. The front part of the hall is a rectangular room lined with pointed arch windows along the walls of three sides: east, north and south. Its full pediment roof which is now destroyed would likely made of wooden structure and tiles. The second section occupies a space at the back of the hall. It is a two-storied room of which the wooden floor was all destroyed, only rows of pilaster and a large pedestal in the middle remains. A window on the east wall of the upper floor was where King Narai received audiences beside which there was an exit leading down to the front hall. The roof of this section was plausibly adorned with prasat-typed spire.
