Description: |
|
Kham Yat Palace is located in Kham Yat Sub-district, 2.5
kilometers west from Wat Pho Thong, on a one way road. Nowadays,
the 10-meter-wide and 20-meter-long building has only 4 cement
walls left and stands in the middle of a rice field. But, there
are still traces of beauty of artworks such as the decorations
at the Jaranum facade, porticos at the front and the back,
laterite paint inside and wood flooring. When King Rama V
visited Kham Yat Palace in 1908, his thought on the place
appeared on his writing, Phra Ratchahatthalekha Ruang Sadet
Praphat Lamnam Makham Thao. It said that he originally thought
that Krom Khun Phonphinit (Khun Luang Ha Wat or Prince
Uthumphon), who had ordained at Wat Pho Thong, built this palace
to live as a monk because of its suitable location. However,
when King Rama V saw that the palace was elaborately built, he
changed his mind because he thought that Khun Luang Ha Wat would
never think of building his temporary residence or base for
fight, this grand and beautiful. Therefore, he assumed that
this palace was built in the reign of King Boromakot to be his
residence during trips just like King Prasat Thong who had built
the Bang Pa-In Royal Palace as his summer palace because he
often visited the area. These two kings had visited Phra Non
Khun Inthapramun twice. And in the same time, Krom Khun
Phonpinit (Khun Luang Ha Wat or Prince Uthumphon), who had
ordained at Wat Racha Pradit, had brought his servants and his
loyal monks on a boat with him to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, to
stay at Wat Pho Thong and at Kham Yat Palace to join Bang Rachan
villagers in battle. Today, the Fine Arts Department has
renovated the Kham Yat Palace and listed the place as ancient
monument. If you want to visit the Kham Yat Palace, the place
is located in Kham Yat Sub-district of Ang Thong Province, 2.5
kilometers west from Wat Pho Thong. |
