Sala Karn Parien or the Teaching-learning Hall, this hall was built in Ayudhya period as the main chapel of Wat Phodharam and was later retored in the reign of King Rama III. The principal Buddha image of Wat Phodharam named “Phra Buddha Sassada” was once enshrined here. There was also a mural painting about hells and twelve demons. This hall is now used for learning and meditation purposes.

     Missakawan Park is a big park with decorative plants and a Chinese style pavilion in the east. Located in this park is one important Sri Maha Pho tree (Assattapreuk Tree) which was brought from Lanka (Ceylon) in the reign of King Rama IV. The mural painting in the pavilion depicts scences from “Sam Kok”, a famous Chinese literature.
