at The City Pillar Shrine
According to an old Thai tradition, a city pillar had to be built upon the establishment of a new city. King Rama I had the Bangkok city pillar erected near the Temple of the Emerald Buddha on Sunday, 21 April, 1782, with the citys horoscope inside. The original pillar was made of cassia wood known as Chaiyaphruek, measuring 75 cm. in diameter and 27 cm. high. In the reign of King Rama IV, the old dilapidated pillar was replaced by a new one made of the same kind of wood, measuring 270 cm. high and standing on a base of 175 cm. wide, sheltered by a Prang-shaped shrine as it appears today. The shrine also houses images of protective deities including Thepharak, Chaopho Ho Klong, Phra Suea Mueang, Phra Song Mueang, Chaopho Chetakhup and Phra Kan Chai Si.

ANCIENT RUINS IN THAILAND | Wichayen House, Lopburi Province, Thailand
This ancient ruins in Thailand is named the 'Official Residence For Ambassadors (Wichayen House)' and it's located in the Lopburi province in Thailand.
I love seeing old ruins, there is something about it. Maybe its because they have so much history behind them.
It feels so surreal to be walking in there, and it was very quiet and peaceful, which made it a lot personal to me.
What remains is a picturesque sight of these buildings, which is quite impressive to see in person.
Ban Wichayen was built in the reign of King Narai The Great to serve as the residence of the French Ambassador (Alexandre, Chevalier De Chaumont) who visited the King Narai's court in 1685 (2228 B.E.) and also used as the reception hall to welcome the French envoy (Simon De La Loubere and Claud Ceberet Du Boullay) who visited the Kingdom of Siam in 1687 (2230 B.E.) when the French diplomat departed, Constantine Phaulkon, known as the Thai Nobel title Chao Phraya Wichayen, was assigned to look after the buildings. The residence was mistakenly thought as Phaulkon's own residence by others and called it Ban Wichayen.
The residence compound can be divided into 3 parts: West, Central and East and can easily notice by the front gate of each part. The residence was found that the constructions in the central and the east parts are somewhat connected in term of function such asa chapel and a large 2 storied building.
They are both solidly and securely constructed and on the perfect spot to accomodate and entertain the foreign ambassadors.
A Catholic chapel known as Notre-Dame De Laurette could be used to perform religious ceremonies by the priests who accompanied the foreign diplomatic envoys.
The most notablebuilding is a Catholic chapel with European chapel floor plan but decorated with traditional Thai sty;e nimbus shape window frames and door frames featuring the stucco of elongated petal lotus on the pillars.
Some of the buildings are in a very european style especially the large 2 storied brick and mortar building situated in the east side which featured the Renaissance style windows and arched doorways hich was very popular during that period.
The group of buildings in the west part have been the residential hall, banquet hall, storage room and kitchen.
Wichayen wife's name is Maria Guyomar De Pinha or known by the local people is Toa Thong Keep Ma The Legendary Of The Thai Sweet Recipes.
The Fine arts department has acclaimed and registered this ancient site on the 2nd August 1936.
