Phra Chuthathut Palace, Royal palace in Tha Thewawong, Thailand.

The palace complex includes four throne halls and fourteen royal houses constructed with traditional Thai architectural elements and ornate decorations.

King Chulalongkorn established this palace in 1889 as a healing residence for Queen Saovabha Phongsri and Crown Prince Vajiravudh on Sichang Island.

The palace buildings carry names that honor different queens and princesses, reflecting the Thai royal tradition of recognizing family connections.

Chulalongkorn University manages the site as both a museum and marine science research station, with regular guided tours available throughout the year.

After the French occupation in 1893, sections of the original palace structure were moved to Bangkok and incorporated into the Vimanmek Mansion.
