Wang Tha Phra, Royal palace in Bangkok, Thailand.
The palace features traditional Thai wooden structures with carved details and decorative elements arranged around extensive courtyards and gardens.
Built during King Rama I's reign, Wang Tha Phra served as a residence for Thai royal family members near the Chao Phraya River.
The palace combines traditional Thai architectural elements with European influences, displaying the artistic preferences of the Rattanakosin period.
The palace grounds remain under the management of the Bureau of the Royal Household, with specific visiting hours and photography restrictions.
The location of Wang Tha Phra along the river made it a strategic point for royal transportation and ceremonial arrivals in historical Bangkok.
