Upstairs, and the museum has agreat collection of bits and pieces from King Mongkut's reign. There is the King's bed, a handless statue of Queen Victorai, a Napoleon statue, a silk shirt from the king and a 19th century London clock. Walking towards the train line along Wichayan Road, on the left is Prang Sam Yod. This is a three-pronged prang made of laterite and sandstone and decorated in stucco. It was probably a Buddhist sanctury in the mid-13th century.
Monkeys stroll around and at night it is lit up.
From Prang Sam Yod, one can spot a temple in the middle of the roundabout just across the railway line. The Kala Shrine, or Sarn Phra Karn, was built when the Khmers were still in control. It has been renovated and is now a Buddhist temple. Hundreds and hundreds of monkeys. They strut around the temple, splash around in large water drums and spend most of the time eating.
