Visit the old palace, Sanam Chan Palace

Sanam Chandra Palace is located in the city of Nakhon Pathom, approximately 2 kilometers from Phra Pathom Chedi, next to Silpakorn University. This palace was graciously ordered by King Rama VI to be built while he was still the Crown Prince of Siam. Construction began in 1907. At first, there were only 2 throne halls: Phiman Pathom Throne Hall and Apirom Rit Throne Hall. Later, on June 7, 1923, His Majesty graciously ordered the ceremony of raising the royal white umbrella to be installed on the Ratana Singhas throne inside the Samakkhi Mukhamat Throne Hall. The palace covers an area of ​​approximately 888 rai and is spacious. It consists of a large courtyard in the center, a road around it, and a moat on the outside. As for Phiman Pathom Throne Hall, King Rama VI used it as his residence, especially before his accession to the throne. It was a place for writing, meeting nobles, and receiving royal guests. And that allowed the people to have an audience more than other throne halls. Inside the throne hall, there are various rooms such as the bedroom, bathroom, dining room, clothing room, etc. In the middle of the field in front of the throne hall, there is the Ganesha temple or known as the Ganesha Shrine. In the middle of the lawn, King Rama VI graciously ordered the construction of a guardian spirit shrine for Sanam Chandra Palace to enshrine Ganesha, the god of arts and sciences, for auspiciousness. If looking from the upper floor of Phiman Pathom Throne Hall, you will see Phra Pathom Chedi, Ganesha Temple, and Phiman Pathom Throne Hall in the same straight line. It is considered a sacred symbol of Sanam Chandra Palace. There are many believers. Another highlight is the Ya Le Monument, a real-size metal statue of a dog. Ya Le was a long-haired, fluffy mongrel with a bushy tail, black and white spots, and lop-eared ears. He was the dog of Luang Chai Anya, who was a royal priesthood officer. (Prisoner) His Majesty found her when he inspected the prison. He was pleased and brought Ya Le to raise in the palace. Because Ya Le was an intelligent and loyal dog, she was favored. This caused some people to be jealous and eventually shot Ya Le to death. King Rama VI was very sad and mourned Ya Le. He graciously ordered a bronze statue of Ya Le to be cast in front of Chaleemongkol Asana Palace. He also composed a poem in his memory and attached it to the pedestal under the statue. #Trip near Bangkok #Central Region Team #Secret Location
