    Royal Clock Tower

    Krom Khun Rahtsihawikrom, a son of King Rama III, created Rattanakosin's spotless white Royal Clock Tower at the request of King Rama IV. The construction resembles a watch tower and is 10 wah tall, or around 20 metres. It features four balconies and a little cube-like structure in the centre of the top level with a pinnacle with four dials. It originally stood opposite the terrace of the Chakri Throne Hall (fig. ), but was dismantled during the reign of King Rama V and relocated to its current location, where it is hidden in plain sight, as one's attention is usually diverted by the many other historical and important places of interest in the area.
