30-The Phra Kaew Pavilion

Ayutthaya used to spread power throughout the region and neighboring areas; many cities became dependent states of the Ayutthaya capital. Consequently, they were responsible for sending tributes to the King of Ayutthaya. The tribute included invaluable religious monuments such as elaborate sacred Buddha images. The Phra Kaew Pavilion is an octagonally-shaped structure constructed by the Ancient City to recover the Pavilion that used to store the tributes of Buddha images.
