Sappaya-Sapasathan, National Parliament building in Dusit district, Thailand
The Sappaya-Sapasathan spans 424,000 square meters along the Chao Phraya River, making it the largest parliament building in the world.
Construction of this legislative complex began in 2013 and continued until 2021, replacing the previous parliament house that served from 1974 to 2018.
The building incorporates 5,018 teak trees and design elements from Thai Buddhist traditions to represent the nation's cultural identity.
The complex contains museums, convention centers, seminar rooms, banquet halls, and offices to accommodate more than 5,000 people daily.
The name combines two Thai words: sappaya meaning comfortable conditions and sapasathan referring to a council of peace.
