Phra Thinang Aphorn Phimok Prasat is a delicate and beautifully crafted royal pavilion located inside Bangkok’s Grand Palace. Commissioned during the reign of King Rama IV, this open-style pavilion was primarily used by the king as a robing area before royal ceremonies.

Despite its small size, the pavilion is admired for its intricate wooden carvings, tiered roof, and golden adornments — all hallmarks of Thai classical architecture. It is a striking testament to the aesthetics and spiritual symbolism associated with royal life in the Rattanakosin era.

Set gracefully along the route to the more prominent halls of the palace, Aphorn Phimok Prasat is a favorite among visitors for photography and appreciation of fine architectural details.
