Ho (Shrine) Hem Monthian Thewarat (Golden Palace, king of the gods)
Ho Hem Monthian Thewarat is a small stone structure in the form of a Khmer-style prasat (residence of a king or god with
a corncob-shped super-structure) built by King Chulalongkorn
in 1880 and dedicated to King Prasat Thong of Ayutthaya, the literal translation of whose name is
King of the Golden Palace, because a miniature Khmer-style prasat of gold was discovered during his reign.
