This yello
This yellow Thai defense building, located near the Grand Palace in Thailand, has a beautiful appearance and is scattered among the buildings of Bangkok. Before the
building, the Thai flag fluttered in the wind, and a cannon was placed above the square in front, sacred and solemn. Behind the building, there was another scene, and the leisurely citizens came and went, making it look clean and beautiful.

The Ministry of Defense Building – A Historical Architecture
The Ministry of Defense Building is located on Sanam Chai Road, near the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew. This historic building was constructed during the reign of King Rama V to serve as the office of the Ministry of Defense. The architecture is in the neoclassical style, with bright yellow walls contrasting with green doors and windows, making it stand out beautifully. Inside, there are displays of military weapons and the history of the Thai military. Additionally, in front of the building, there are rows of ancient cannons on display, which is a popular spot for tourists to take photos and learn about history.

.. The front of the building faces the Grand Palace or Wat Phra Kaew. On the left is Saranrom Palace. On the right is the Bangkok City Pillar Shrine. And the back is next to Khlong Lod.
.🌁 It is a 3-storey building, beautiful with Neo-Palladian classical architecture. The architectural highlight is the plan, which is almost square. On the porch of the 2nd floor, there is a large balcony extending from the building, supported by large round columns, Roman columns, supported at intervals, 6 columns per row. In front of the building is a wide courtyard with many ancient cannons.

Worship the Garuda and ask for wealth and prosperity.
Garuda Shrine
"Om Phraya Garuda, Ruj, Ruj, and get rich"
Phraya Garuda is considered a sacred object and the lord of wealth. It is considered a good thing to come and ask for blessings. Many people may come to ask for blessings about work or money or ask for help in land trading or various trades. It is believed that he can help us. This shrine is located in Trok Krut, behind the Ministry of Defence building, near Wat Phra Kaew. It is not a very large shrine, but it is very sacred and magical. For anyone passing by, I recommend coming to pay homage for good luck.

Share Landmark Take a photo
Landmark for taking pictures Bright yellow Ministry of Defense building Yellow and white
Come and take a walk and take pictures. And this area has many more angles for taking pictures.
I recommend coming on Saturday - Sunday so that there won't be many cars around the building.
Be careful when crossing the road to take pictures.

I recommend coming around 4pm, there are no cars parked and you can take photos without people
The light is also very beautiful, not hot
It's even better if you dress up with your friends to take photos, the feeling is the best

The Thai M
The Thai Ministry of Defence Ministry of Defense Thailand
felt very beautiful when passing by the Thai Ministry of Defence in the car, so I came here specially. There is a garden-like place in front of the pale yellow pink building with cannons. It is worth noting that the average visitor is not allowed to visit and can only look outside. I can often see security guards walking around, so be cautious and don't do suspicious behavior.
Saranrom Park
Saranrom Park is a small park near the Grand Palace. The entrance is a bit hard to find, as if to avoid tourists. Like. There are indeed fewer tourists here, and more are locals. There is an area dedicated to children. The park is lined with trees, large meadows, and paved walkways, perfect for walks and leisure.
