This building is also called Tuek Daeng. It was constructed by King Rama V after his crown prince Vajirunhis died of typhoid in his teens. The king thought that it was a waste of resources to build a funeral building for the dead prince so he decided to construct an educational institute for the monks. So he got this Khmer style building made. It was converted to an exhibition hall of King Rama V’s history and works. In 1966 it was converted to a library and research centre for social sciences. You will have a hard time locating this classic building as it is generally hidden behind the tour buses parked in front of it.
