Phra Ratcha Wang Bowon Sathan Phimuk, Royal palace in Siri Rat, Thailand.
The palace features traditional Thai architectural elements with multiple buildings arranged in a formal complex near the Grand Palace in Bangkok.
King Rama I initiated the construction of Phra Ratcha Wang Bowon Sathan Phimuk in 1782 as part of establishing Bangkok as Thailand's new capital.
The palace grounds contain the Phutthaisawan Hall, which houses the Phra Phuttha Sihing Buddha image, brought to Bangkok in 1795 by Surasinghanat.
The palace complex now functions as part of the Bangkok National Museum, allowing visitors to explore Thailand's royal heritage through exhibits and artifacts.
Five Princes of the Front Palace resided in this compound until 1885, when King Chulalongkorn discontinued the viceroy position after Prince Wichaichan's death.
