**********

This is a three-story brick building of later date, constructed by King Mongkut (Rama IV, reigned 1851-1868) as his residence when he stayed at Lopburi during the renovation of the palace. Connected with the pavilion are three other two-story buildings called Suttha Vinitchai Pavilion, Chaisastrakorn Pavilion and Aksonsastrakom. All three buildings are now used as offices of the Lopburi National Museum.

Classical durian varieties as they are common in Indonesia (mainly Sumatra and Borneo) have to ripen on the tree and are harvested only once they have fallen off on their own.
