King Chulalongkorn Memorial Building, Thai pavilion in Utanede, Sweden

The King Chulalongkorn Memorial Building is a pavilion with 24 white concrete pillars supporting a roof with four entrances, measuring ten meters on each side. The structure reaches a height of 28 meters and rests on a deep foundation adapted to the region's special soil conditions.

The memorial was built approximately 100 years after King Chulalongkorn of Thailand visited the region during his European tour in 1897. The construction marked the lasting impact of this historical visit on Swedish-Thai relations.

The pavilion is a sala Thai in the style of a royal prasat, with a gilded spire and gold-leaf ornamentation on its four entrances. Thai royal artisans under King Bhumibol Adulyadej made the decorations, while Jämtland firms built the structure. A bronze statue of King Chulalongkorn stands at its centre; it is a memorial, not a Buddhist shrine.

The pavilion stands beside Holmsta farm in Utanede, near the gravel road renamed Kung Chulalongkorns väg after the 1897 visit. The ground is blue clay down to about 20 metres, so the builders drove piles 30 metres deep before raising the structure. The site can be reached on foot from the village.

The site's soil was blue clay down to 20 metres, and Thai monks had already blessed the chosen spot, so it could not be moved; the builders drove piles 30 metres into the ground. The pavilion was handed to Ragunda Municipality in 1999 as a gift from Thailand's deputy prime minister.
