[835] Of buildings of Vajiravudh College
Vajiravudh College at Dusit, Bangkok has some impressive structures . The most prominent are these two structures; the main hall:

And it's main classroom block:

From the style of the main hall, it does show how similar the Thai and the Malay designs are. It probably it reflects the fact that the Thai had strong influence over the Malay - in particular northern Malay - in some part of history.

There are several other interesting buildings; this is one of their hostels, which is one of my favorite photos from my Bangkok set:

All the structures are old but well-maintained, which makes it all the more amazing.

There is another photo of around the College ground a couple of entries back.
