Thailand Parliament Building
The Sappaya-Sapasathan currently houses the National Assembly, the legislative branch of the Government of Thailand. The legislature consisting of two chambers: the upper house (the Senate of Thailand), and the lower house (the House of Representatives of Thailand). It is the third parliament house of Thailand.
The building's design was inspired by a classic Thai Buddhist tale and was made to look like a temple as a reminder to officials of "Thainess" and morality, making it truly a Sappaya Sapasathan, "peaceful parliament".
The Sappaya-Sapasathan id built to provide more than 424,000 m2 of floor space, can accommodate more than 5,000 people and parking for 2,000 cars. Its main features are a Thai pagoda in the center of the building, Suriyan Hall (Hall of the Sun) for House of Representative, Chantra Hall (Hall of the Moon) for Senate, and the use of 5,018 teak trees as they represent the "DNA of Thailand". It also houses museums, a convention center, a seminar room, a banquet hall, and offices.The new parliament building, after few delays, was planned to be inaugurated in late 2020.
In the construction of this eclectic building were used Rawlplug R-LX concrete screw anchors.
