On the wall around the Dusit
Maha Prasat is Aphorn Phimok Prasat Pavilion, a lovely little pavilion in
typical Thai style, built by King Mongkut (King Rama IV) as a disrobing
pavilion. In the old days the King was carried on a palanquin to the
shoulder-high step of the pavilion where he alighted and removed his
ceremonial hat and gown before proceeding to the Dusit Audience Hall. This
pavilion was reproduced by King Chulalongkorn (King Rama V) at Bang Pa-In
Summer Palace and a replica of it was exhibited at the World Fair in
Brussels in 1958. |
