The Grand Palace - Chakri Maha Prasat Hall

這是7月15日參觀泰國大皇宮跟玉佛寺系列文章的最後一篇，卻克里瑪哈拉撒廳（Chakri Maha Prasat Hall）篇。走出玉佛寺（Temple of the Emerald Buddha）區域之後，前往大皇宮出口就會經過這區卻克里建築群（The Chakri Group）（按：卻克里是「曼谷王朝」的意思）。

上面照片跟下面的這張照片的建築物叫做「Dusita Phirom Hall」。

在卻克里建築群中最大間的就是這棟「卻克里瑪哈拉撒廳」（Chakri Maha Prasat Hall）。

建築物看起來是很西洋式，不過尖塔的屋頂卻很泰國。

據說這是朱拉隆功大帝（King Chulalongkorn）興建的，迄今宴會的區域仍被使用中。

在卻克里瑪哈拉撒廳的右側看到了這樣的建築物。

這個建築物叫做「Dusit Maha Prasat Hall」。

這個建築物旁邊也有一個相仿但較小的亭子，叫做「Aphorn Phimiok Prasat Pavilion」。

Dusit Maha Prasat Hall主要用途是王室成員駕崩時舉行喪禮的地方，或是作為國王登基紀念日（Coronation Day）所使用。

走出大皇宮出口之後，我尋找著我們車子集合的那個兔子牌子，在路上看到在對面路口的一個寫著驚嘆號的亭子，加上上面的電線跟地上，停滿了數量相當可觀的鴿子，還真的滿驚人的。
