There are rwo of these of which are in front of the Prang and date from the Thon Buri period. The one in the north used to be the ordination hall and now contains the royal couch of the King of Thon Buri made of one huge plank of teak.
The Wihan in the south is older than the one in the north. At present a relic is enshrined here. On the door panels are gilt lacquer paintings depicting soldiers wearing hats and holding guns. These show workmanship of the time of King Rama V.
