Praisaneeyakan served as the postal museum until it was closed to the public a few years later. It is a life-size extraction of Thailand’s first postal Office once stood on the site, including only the façade of the original building, educing the depth from 53.5 metres to only 3.5 metres from front to back. There has been a proposed plan to demolish and rebuild the replica with more functional space. There is yet to be a certain public announcement about its future. 

The presence of the current Praisaneeyakan is now serving as a monument, a reminiscence to the similar-looking building in the past and its history. The building is bound to face a change in the near future. 

Golden Hour is an installation facilitating Praisaneeyakan’s ability to convey a glimpse into the future. It consists of a 4 meter tall mirror placed in front of one of the windows of the façade of the building. The mirror lays on a scaffold with an inclination on 68 degrees, allowing the sunlight to project a light image of the window that it faces that reflects on the opposite side of the hollow building. The light rays in the shape of a window that is yet to be built appears as a mark of the magic moment, the indication of temporal flow, and the beginning of the end of day that leads further towards another beginning. The future window appears in the afternoon and it climbs up as the Sun goes down until being in its prospective placement approximately at 5 pm everyday during the exhibition period.
