The Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall is one of the most architecturally stunning royal halls in Thailand, located in the Dusit district of Bangkok. It stands proudly within the Dusit Palace compound, surrounded by gardens and key royal landmarks.

Commissioned during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), the throne hall was constructed in Renaissance and Baroque styles by Italian architects. Its most prominent feature is its construction entirely from white Carrara marble, imported from Italy, and the lavish interior decorated with elaborate frescoes depicting the history of the Chakri Dynasty and royal milestones.

During the tourist season, the throne hall is open to the public for viewing. Inside, visitors will find royal arts, traditional Thai craftsmanship, and historical artifacts, all preserved in a peaceful, regal atmosphere.

This attraction is ideal for those who appreciate cultural heritage, European-style architecture, and Thai royal history. It is also a dream location for photography enthusiasts looking to capture one of Thailand’s grandest palaces.

If you are searching for a destination that captures the glory of Thailand’s royal past, the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall is a must-visit.
