2| The Information Pavilion Traditionally, a Thai pavilion (or sala) is built outside the city walls in front of the main gate, to serve as a shelter for travellers who are waiting to enter the city while the city gate is still closed, because the city entrance is opened only at certain times. The pavilion at Muang Boran is built in the Sukhothai style. The roof is pitched at an extremely acute angle and is supported by round wooden pillars and beams, unique style of Sukhothai art. This Thai pavilion at Muang Boran, functioning as an information center, houses the ticket counter and tourist information desk for visitors to Muang Boran.
