[2025 Bangkok Attraction] Travel Guide for Phaya Thai Palace (Updated Mar)

#2024Travel Review [Phya Thai Palace # Bangkok Tan Dian ] A less popular itinerary to visit in Bangkok is the classical and gorgeous century-old building: Phya Thai Palace, the palace of King Rama VI of Thailand. I had brunch with a classmate I met by chance in Bangkok and made an appointment at Café Narasingh. Only then did I have the opportunity to visit the #phyathaipalace, which is only open on weekends and requires a reservation for a guided tour. It has two sessions a day and is fully booked with 30 people. . It was very difficult because the whole tour was in Thai and it took two hours to explain everything in detail. The tour guide was very lively and the audience was very interactive. Unfortunately, I couldn't understand it at all. Fortunately, the fee is a very reasonable 60 baht, and it’s worth it just to be able to take photos inside. I vaguely heard the word "victoria" and it turned out to be a Victorian-style building. No wonder it gave me the illusion of Europe. King Rama VI of Thailand really went to the UK to study, so he also brought back British-style architectural features. The reason why there are so many rings in Tainan is because urban planning officials during the Japanese colonial period were shocked by the radial rings in Italy after visiting Europe, and they wanted to imitate them. All roads lead to Rome. The main building of the palace has three floors, with reception on the first floor, offices on the second floor, and sleeping quarters on the third floor. King Rama VI of Thailand at that time really lived here. On the second floor of the main building, there is a European-style corridor connecting the left and right annexes, as well as the palace's standard garden pool, rest cabin, bell tower, and temple-like Roman arch columns. Although compared with the genuine royal palaces in Europe, the level of luxury and magnificence is obviously inferior, but the essential details have been learned, and some local elements of Thailand have been incorporated. The visibility and richness are really enough. But the threshold is relatively high because I can’t understand the Thai tour guide and it takes two hours. It is recommended for travelers who have leisure time and time to travel slowly. Otherwise, go to Café Narasingh, which is also part of Phaya Thai Palace, for coffee. The interior architecture alone is enough for you to admire and take beautiful photos. Phya Thai Palace ✓Opening dates: Saturdays and Sundays ✓Opening hours: 0930-1130, 1300-1530 ✓Visit fee: THB 60 ✓Address: 315 Ratchawithi Rd, Thung Phaya Thai, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400 #ThailandFreeTravel #BangkokTravel #BangkokTandian #Phayathai Palace #Thailand Royal Family #Rama VI #phyathai

Wang Phaya Thai... An old palace in the heart of the city near Victory Monument Many people may not know it, but many people may be more familiar with the name 'Cafe Narasingh'. If anyone has passed Phra Mongkut Hospital, they will find a beautiful yellow-cream building located in the hospital area. Wang Phaya Thai Phaya Thai Palace has a history of more than a century. It was once a place for King Chulalongkorn to rest and relax. It started as a royal barn where rice and gardening were experimented with, then a palace for the Queen Mother, and the residence of King Mongkut, then a first-class hotel, and later became the office of the Royal Thai Army for medical treatment, which became the starting point of Phra Mongkut Hospital. Currently, Phaya Thai Palace is a museum for visitors. The highlight here is the buildings and gardens in the style of Western architecture, and a classic retro coffee shop. If you don't know where to go on a holiday, I recommend you come and visit. #BangkokTravel #Phaya ThaiPalace #CafeNarasingh #NarasinghCafe #RainySeasonTravel #tripFreeAccommodation

If you’re like me then you can appreciate a good food market. Bangkok is chalk full of markets leaving you with no shortage of excellent and fun’s spots to check out. This market is in a neighborhood lesser known in Bangkok called the Chatumit Village. It’s near the BTS stop Saphan Kuwai. This nice market is across my my hotel and was very convenient for me to walk out my door and get coffeee and food. There are plenty of shops and street food around as well.

#CelebrateWithTrip Phyathai Palace is located not far from Victory monument (about 1 km., 5 mins by car and 10 mins walk) along Ratchawithi Rd next to Phramongkutklao Hospital. I chose to visited on Saturday 09:30 instead of 13:30 due to expect that the weather will be better in the morning round. I bought the ticket in the main building (40 Baht). It took around 2 hours to follow a guide and explore in each room/area of the palace. I have visited the Narasingh cafe next to the main building and drink a hot americano and croissant before the tour start. Getting There - BTS victory monument and walk for 10 mins along Ratchawithi Rd. Attractions - Palace Hotels - Food & Restaurants - Narasingh cafe, canteen of Phramongkut Hospital Shopping - Souvenir shop in the palace

If anyone is okay going to Victory Monument, I would like you to walk to the Phaya Thai Palace in Phra Mongkut Hospital. During the whole month of August, the Phaya Thai Palace has invited the relics of the Buddha and the relics of the 80 great monks from Burma to be brought to pay homage. The palace has flowers for worship. I would like those who are into the spiritual path or are interested to try going. In addition, you can also pay homage to the royal monument of King Rama VI and the shrine of Thao Hiranyaphanasura, which are not far away. #Phaya Thai Palace #Buddhist Relics #Places to visit for spiritual paths #Mutelu

The medical district along Line 1 is bustling busy, but it’s a really nice walk while passing by the Veteran and Medical street. There’s a local neighborhood behind the castle many use for a daily jog. There’s a cafe on site to rest, but be sure to get there before 16:00 so you can visit all floors. The landscape is relaxing and architecture unique. Many local shops selling necessities nearby, and several bus stops. School dismissals and shift changes make it crowded between 16:30-17:30, so mid-morning or after lunch is best.

It was later established as Phaya Thai Palace during the reign of King Rama VI and is currently the home of Phramongkutklao Hospital "R.R.6" which means King Rama VI. Phiman Chakri Throne Hall was used as the residence of King Rama VI and his queen. The first floor consists of a dining room and a royal court room which was a room for royal attendants to pay their respects. Later, when it was changed to the Wang Phaya Thai Hotel, this room became a dining room. The second floor is the central throne room which is a room for the royal audience. The interior is decorated in European style. There is a fireplace above which is a royal portrait of King Rama VI under the Great Crown of Victory surrounded by a halo. The bedroom is decorated with dry plaster paintings. It is a picture of Buddhist scriptures inscribed on palm leaves, a picture of the Buddha's footprint, and a picture of the Phra Kesa Kaew Chulamani Chedi. There is also a dragon which is a symbol of being a king and the year of birth. Inside the bedroom, there is a bathing room. Inside the writing room, there is a bookcase which is a wall-mounted cabinet. It is a white cabinet with gold patterns and the initials of the royal name. Inside the bedroom of Queen Indrasakdisachi, the ceiling is decorated with floral patterns, while the walls are decorated with peacock patterns, which is the symbol of Her Majesty. It is currently on display. 💒 Phra Thinang Si Suthaniwat is located on the west side of Phra Thinang Phiman Chakri. It is a two-story brick and mortar building with a reinforced concrete structure and a small dome on top. It was originally used as the royal audience hall of the palace, but later it was used to receive royal ladies because there were rectangular rooms arranged in groups connected at the central hall. The architectural style is a European mansion in the romantic style. Originally, this building was called Phra Thinang Lakshmi Philas, named after Queen Lakshmi Lawan. Later, the name was changed to Phra Thinang Si Suthaniwat at present. The lower floor consists of a large suite of rooms. The east side is the dining room and the living room. Next is the staircase hall. The west side is the bedroom of the maids, the dressing room, the bathroom and the music room. The upper floor has three sets of bedrooms. The east and west sides are for the royal ladies and the south side is for the maids. 🕍 Phra Thinang Thewarat Sapharom It is assumed that it was built when Queen Savang Vadhana, the Queen Mother, came to reside at the Phaya Thai Palace. Designed by an Italian engineer, this throne hall has a combination of classical and Art Nouveau architecture built with a concrete structure. The southern gable has the royal initials S.P. (Saowapha Phongsri), making this throne hall called Thong Phra Rong S.P. The structure is made of wood. The building plan is a rectangle measuring 12.24 meters, divided into 3 parts. The middle column is 6 meters wide and the sides are 3 meters wide on each side. The walls of Mars are doors that can be opened completely, making it look like a hall. The upper wall has a skylight about half the size of the lower door. On top, there is a walkway that follows the shape of the roof, which has a cross-shaped plan with unequal arms. The north and south axes are longer than the east and west axes. The upper part of the roof is a Roman dome. The eaves are decorated with fretwork. This throne hall is used as a place to hold important royal ceremonies and to receive private guests, including being used as a venue for plays. 🏰 Udomwanabhorn Throne Hall Located on the east side of the Waikunthepyathan Throne Hall, it is a two-storey brick and mortar throne hall with a simple design. The structure is reinforced concrete with a steel structure in the Art Nouveau style. It is decorated with white glazed tiles, emphasizing the entrance door and a large staircase in the center. It is assumed that the construction of this throne hall is unlikely to be related to the Phiman Chakri Throne Hall group. However, when it was used as the residence of Princess Sucharit Suda and Queen Suvadhana, the royal consort and the royal consort of King Rama VI respectively, a walkway was built connecting it to the Waikunthepyathan Throne Hall on the second floor, allowing people to walk to the Phiman Chakri Throne Hall group. It is currently not open to visitors because Phramongkutklao Hospital uses this throne hall as the location of the Phramongkutklao Medical Center. 🌝📣🔥Open for viewing only on Saturdays and Sundays, 2 rounds per day, 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The tour takes about 1.5-2 hours with an officer to guide you around. And explain (Thai)**The staff explained the details well. The ticket price is 40 baht per person (helps maintain the building)
