Description: |
|
Located in Khunkhlon sub-district, between Bangkok Bank,
Phraphutthabat branch and Saraburi Home for Girls, on the bank
of Than Thongdaeng, a canal which passes the area of Phra
Phuttabat. The King Prasat Thong was so pleased at this area
that he built a residence in 1633 during his reign for his royal
visit to pay respect to Phra Phuttabat. Today, only foundation
is left.
Than Thongdaeng canal originates from Khao Than
Thongdaeng mountain in Phra Phutthabat district and flows
towards Nong Don district. The second annals, royal autograph
edition, stated that the King Prasat Thong built the residence
on the bank of the canal. A 3-way water pipe joint was found
near the bank of the canal and today it is kept in the Phra
Phutthabat museum. The 20cm. diameter water pipe joint found is
like water pipe joint used nowadays, but it is much bigger in
size and made of bronze. Ruins of drainage way made of plaster
work in Ayutthaya era were also found in the area of Phra
Thamnak Thai Phikun. Today, the canal and the line of
drainageway can still be seen but the canal is very shallow. |
