Ho Phra Nak
Ho Phra Nak (Hall for the Relics of Princes and Princesses)
This hall was originally by King Rama I as a chapel for Phra Nak, a standing image of the Buddha made of an alloy of gold, copper and silver. King Rama III enlarged it to accomodate the individual golden urns that contained crematory remains of high-raking members of the present Dynasty in the Ayutthaya tradition of keeping relics of royalty in the Royal Chapel, Wat Phra Si Sanphet.
