Thonburi

Openly through the river is Thonburi which obliged a short-lived term as the Thai capital after the collapse of Ayutthaya. Nowadays the zone beside the river is straightforwardly accessed from Bangkok’s ferries. Moreover there are a lot of museums and temples here that are historic accompaniments to those in Ko Ratanakosin.

Thank you

The fruit-shape architectural style

The fruit-shape architectural style was prevalent thru the Pre-Ayuthaya eras specifically U-Thong and Ayothaya

The fruit-shape is modeled after the smaller prang in front of the meeting hall or wihan of Wat Maha That, Sankhaburi in Chai Nat. Extraordinary skills were used to form the prang
