Published caption : Situated next to the foot of Krung Thon Bridge on the east side of the Chao Phraya River, Wat Ratchaphatikaram was rebuilt during the reign of King Rama IV by his brother and second monarch King Pinklao, who employed labour from the nearby Vietnamese community. Not many people know that in the ubosot (ordination hall) of this temple are housed the relics of King Rama IV and King Rama V. I wonder if there is anybody who could tell me why the gable on the east side of the hall depicts a clock face with the hour hand pointing between 3 and 4 o’clock, and the minute hand at 6 o’clock.
