Chapel Royal ground is enclosed by galleries, the murals
of which depict the story of "Ramakien" of the
first reign version.
If we start at the East gate, we come to the initial
stages of the war waged by Rama of Ayutthaya to rescue his
wife, who had been abducted by Thotsakan (Ravana), King of
Longks.
Here are depicted episodes of the building the causeway
from the mainland, of the campaign of Maiyarab the
Magician, who took the sleeping Rama away to the never world,
the campaigns of Kumpakan and Indrajit, the brother and
son respectively of Thotsakan and other campaigns waged by
Thotsakan himself, his other relatives and allies.
The battle, in which Thotsakan loses his life, is to be
found just beyond the gate leading into Royal Palace.
