Klai Kangwon Palace, Royal palace in Hua Hin, Thailand

The Klai Kangwon Palace features Spanish architectural elements with white walls, red-tiled roofs, and rectangular windows spread across multiple buildings

King Rama VII commissioned the construction of this summer retreat in 1929, selecting architect Itthithepsan Kritakara to design the royal residence.

The palace maintains its status as an active royal residence where members of the Thai royal family conduct ceremonies and state functions.

Visitors can view the palace exterior and gardens during daytime hours, while interior areas remain restricted due to their continued use by the royal family.

The name Klai Kangwon translates to 'Far from Worries' in Thai, reflecting the purpose of this coastal retreat located 200 kilometers from Bangkok.
