The Phra Si Rattana Chedi is on the western end of the Than Phaithi and houses relics of the Buddha from Sri Lanka, which was given to Rama IV. Constructed in 1855, the circular bell-shaped stupa or chedi is built of brick masonry. The stupa was later entirely covered in gold-colored tiles specially imported from Italy by Rama V.
