Chan Palace or Phra Tripitaka Hall at Wat Rakhang in Bangkok, Thailand
Chan Palace (Hor Sai, Rakhang Temple)
Phra Phutthayotfa Chulalok Maharaj also known as Rama I, was the founder of Rattanakosin Kingdom and the first monarch of Thailand.
Chan Palace or Phra Tripitaka Hall is an architecture built in the Thonburi period. It was originally the residence of King Phra Phutthayodfa Chulalok. The Great King Rama I.
The temple, formerly named "Wat Bangwayai" was built in the Ayutthaya period. It was restored and appointed a royal temple by King Taksin of Thonburi Kingdom who also sponsored the revision of the tripitaka scriptures at the temple. During the reign of King Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama I), a melodious rakhang or bell was found in the temple compound. The king order it to be moved to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew), and had five new bells sent back in exchange. The king then changed the temple's name to Wat Rakhangkositaram. In the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV) the name was to be changed again to "Wat Rajkanthiyaram" (วัดราชคัณฑิยาราม; "kanthi" meaning bell). But people don't accept this name, and the temple is still called Wat Rakhang today.
