The Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall (Thai: พระที่นั่งอนันตสมาคม pronunciation: Phra Thinang Anantasamakhom: translated as 'The place of immense gathering'[1]) is a royal reception hall in Dusit Palace in Bangkok, Thailand. It was commissioned by King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) in 1908. The building was completed in 1915, five years after Rama V's death in 1910. It is now employed from time to time for state occasions.

Until October 2017, when it indefinitely closed to the public, the hall was open to visitors as a museum and housed the Arts of the Kingdom exhibition, which showcased handicrafts produced under the sponsorship of the Queen Sirikit Institute.
