26-The Chom Thong Palace Hall

The Chom Thong Palace Hall is one of the palace halls that lies within the grounds of Wat Phra Si Sanphet. It is not known exactly when it was first established but evidence found later showed that the palace hall once functioned as a scripture repository.

During the reign of King Songtham, the Hall was used by senior members of the Buddhist hierarchy as a place from which they issued edicts relating to religious matters. The Chom Thong Palace Hall at The Ancient City was built based on the late Ayutthaya architectural style. The structure was made of brick and plaster with small windows on every side.
