Royal scribes were officers in charge of the documents in the Royal Hall, and the works of the royal scribes were also carried out in that hall... In the reign of King Rama V (possibly the Year of the Rat, 2419 BE), during the construction of the Chakkri Mahaprasat Hall, he had the the building of the Royal Hall as well as the buildings of other government departments around it torn down..."
