Ananta Samakom Throne Hall

Ananta Samakom Throne HallThe Ananta Samakom Throne Hall is the ornate gray-marble Italian renaissance-style building located on the broad avenue off Ayutthaya Road in Dusit district. King Chulalongkorn built the palace in 1907 to receive guests and foreign dignitaries. Upon completion during the reign of King Rama VI, it was used for royal and state ceremonies and parliament meetings. Currently, the Royal Throne Hall is only used for the ceremonial opening of the first session of Parliament, royal receptions and private functions.

The interior of the Ananta Samakom Throne Hall is decorated with marvelous mural paintings. A wonderfully detailed fresco can be seen on the inside of the domed ceiling. The hall is only open to the public once each year on children's day, the second Saturday of January.

Royal Throne HallImmediately in front of the Royal Throne Hall in the middle of the parade ground is an imposing statue of King Chulalongkorn on horseback. Much of this part of Bangkok was originally built during the great king's reign. Many Thais turn out on October 23, the anniversary of his death, to lay wreaths at the base of the statue.Find Ananta Samakom on the Map
