This small pavilion at the Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand, is Aphorn Phimok Prasat, which was built entirely of wood by King Rama IV. Behind the pavilion is the Dusit Maha Prasat throne hall, which was built by King Rama I in 1790, as a lying-in-state of kings, queens and honored members of the royal family. It also supports the annual Coronation Day ceremony. A topiary garden of sculpted living trees grows in the foreground.
