Phra Mondob (The Scripture Hall), built in the reign of King Rama III with a crowned,
gabled roof tetrahedron elaborated with multicoloured Chinese ceramic bowls, this hall keeps a small library
on the Tripitaka or teachings of Buddha which was built in the reign of King Rama I. There are portices at the
3 directions of the Mondob. The mural paintings about the beginning of Ramayana and a "Mon"
tradition are shown on the inner walls of the portices, and the outer side was decorated with Thai Verse Proverbs called :Klong Lokaniti".
The rock giants, which were famous as Wat Pho Giants in the fight with Wat Jaeng Giants, stand on both sides of the sheltered gates.
