Bang Khun Phrom palace

Bang Khun Phrom Palace is a royal palace complex in Bangkok with multiple buildings situated across a large estate along the Chao Phraya River. The structures display curved walls, ornately decorated doorframes, and detailed plasterwork visible throughout the grounds.

The palace was commissioned in 1901 by King Rama V for his son Prince Paribatra Sukhumbandhu, who lived there until 1932. This period marked the end of its use as an active royal residence.

The palace grounds blend European architectural styles such as Neo-Baroque and Art Deco with traditional Thai design elements visible throughout. Visitors can observe how these different influences appear together in the buildings and their decorative details.

The site is open for guided tours on Saturdays and Sundays and requires advance online registration. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the grounds include multiple buildings and outdoor areas to explore.

Certain rooms in the palace retain their original furnishings with furniture, paintings, and photographs that offer insights into royal life from earlier times. These collections display personal details and everyday objects from a different era.
