Vimanmek Mansion, Royal teakwood mansion in Dusit District, Bangkok, Thailand
Vimanmek Mansion stretches across 60 meters by 20 meters with an L-shaped layout, featuring three levels and 22 rooms within its teakwood structure.
King Chulalongkorn ordered the relocation of this mansion from Si Chang Island to Bangkok in 1901, where it served as his residence for five years.
The mansion combines traditional Thai construction methods with European architectural influences, reflecting Thailand's transformation during the early twentieth century.
Visitors must wear appropriate clothing covering knees and shoulders, remove shoes before entering, and pay 100 baht for admission to explore the complex.
The construction of this mansion utilized traditional Thai building techniques without any nails, making it the largest teakwood building in the world.
