 | | Established during the reign of the celebrated Rama V, King Chulalongkorn, to escape the cluttered surroundings of Ko Rattanakosin, it's mainly an administrative center. |
 | | It was constructed in 1900 by the still revered King Chulalongkorn, Rama V, and was used as the royal palace for a short period. |
 | | It's European in style, reflecting Rama V's general love of things western, and is filled with an amazing collection of pieces of art, jewelry, antiques, paintings and photos from Europe and elsewhere. |
