Drum Tower) - King Rama I had the Drum Tower built in 1782. The three-storeyed tower features a wooden red structure replicating the style of the tower in Ayutthaya period. Each storey houses a big drum which gives different sound to convey a different message. 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.
Wat Suthat Thepwararam Ratchaworamahawiharn) - King Rama I founded the temple at the central area of the city at that time, and built the sizable wiharn as the wiharn of Wat Phanan Choeng in Ayutthaya. Then the Sukhothai style bronze Buddha image, brought from Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai, was installed inside the wiharn. The image was called Phra Toh or Phra Yai means Big Buddha image. The wiharn (main hall) was completed in the reign of King Rama III. Then the ubosot (ordination hall) was built along with the principal Buddha image. The temple was then named Wat Suthat Thepwararam. Later, King Rama IV named the principal image inside the wiharn Phra Phuttha Srisakkayamuni and the principal image inside the ubosot Phra Phuttha Trilokachet.
