The current Rattanakosin Drum Tower, in Thai known simply as ho klong, was built in 1982 AD, on the occasion of the Bicentennial of the Chakri dynasty, and commissioned by the Cabinet under King Rama IX. It was reconstructed in its original location and after the design of the original 1782 AD tower commissioned by King Rama I, yet no longer in wood covered with din daeng or red clay but in stone. This replica houses three used drums, larger than the original ones, from Wat Pracha Sutharam, a temple in Surin.
