Description: |

Kraison Siharat Hall, one of King Narai the Great’s many
residences, is commonly known as Phra Thinang Yen or Thale Chup
Son Hall. It is located on an island surrounded by Thale Chup
Son, which was once a large reservoir created by a
stone-and-cement dam. According to French chronicles, when King
Narai the Great hunted elephants in the east mountain, he would
return and rest at this hall. Although its exact date of
construction is not known, it is theorized it was erected prior
to 1685.
The hall also holds historic significance for
astronomers. King Narai the Great utilized it to observe a lunar
eclipse and later a solar eclipse, along with Jesuit priests and
the first group of envoys representing King Louise XIV of
France. Admission is 50 baht per person, though a package
covering admission to Phra Prang Sam Yot, Vichayen House and Wat
Phra Si Maha That as well as the hall is priced at 150 baht. |
