Sanam Chandra Palace

Built in 1907, Sanam Chandra Palace is set in a beautiful park full of giant trees and perfectly manicured lawns winding around ponds and lakes.  In the middle of this garden stands the most unlikely building, a yellow castle worthy of a cinderalla fairy tale.  Before ascending the throne, the then crown prince vajiravudh (Later H.M. King Rama VI 1910-1925) decided to build this residence as his retreat to enable him to visit the Phra Pathom Chedi regulary.  It took 9 years to complete the project.
