The first drum named Yam Phra Surasri to signal dawn and dusk, the second drum named Akki Phinat signals a fire alarm, and the third drum named Phi Khat Phairi sounds a signal warning when invaders attack the city. In the reign of King Rama III, the tower rooftop was modified from Thai style of mondop to Chinese style. Later, it was changed back to its original form in the reign of King Rama IV. King Rama V had the tower demolished for building Chao Chet Park. A new tower of the same style was rebuilt in 1982 in the occasion of 200th anniversary of Bangkok.
