The Sala Kanparien was built in the Ayutthaya style. It was the viharn (main chapel) when Wat Pho was known as Wat Phodharam. Inside it there was once a Buddha statue, Phra Buddha Sassadea, which was the main Buddha image of Wat Phodharam. On the walls of Sala Kanparien are murals depicting hell and the twelve demons.
