Wang Chan Kasem or Wang Na



Wang Chan Kasem or Wang Na

The Palace is located on U Thong Road on the bank of the Pa Sak River. It was built in the reign of King Naresuan the Great and used to be a residential palace for several kings and crown princes. It was destroyed by fire in the second fall of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya in 1767. Later, King Rama IV had it reconstructed in its original plan to be used as a residential palace. The complex comprises Phlapphla Chaturamuk (a four porched pavilion), Phiman Rattaya Throne Hall and Phisai Sanyalak Throne Hall (an observatory) and currently serves as a national museum.
