Phra Thinang Khuha Kharuehat, Royal throne hall in Phraya Nakhon Cave, Sam Roi Yot National Park, Thailand.

The pavilion stands on a raised platform within a limestone cave, featuring traditional Thai architectural elements and ornate decorative details.

King Rama V commissioned this pavilion in 1890 during his exploration of the coastal region, marking the first royal structure in a natural cave.

The pavilion represents the Thai monarchy's connection to nature, combining royal architecture with the raw formation of the limestone cave.

Visitors need to undertake a 430-meter climb through the cave system to reach the pavilion, which receives natural light through ceiling openings.

Two hundred craftsmen from Bangkok transported materials and constructed this pavilion inside the cave under the supervision of engineer Phraya Chollayudhyuthin.
