Where Is Maruekhathaiyawan Palace Of Thailand ?

Maruekhathaiyawan Palace

Mrigadayavan Palace is a former residence of King Vajiravudh, or Rama VI, who ruled Siam from 1910 to 1925.

The summer seaside Palace, often referred to as "the palace of love and hope is located midway between Cha-Am and Hua Hin. It was built in 1923 under the royal command of King Rama VI using golden teakwood from the demolished Hat Chao Samran Palace

Built as the summer residence of King Rama VI, who reigned until 1925, this unique teak palace is stunning in many ways. The king originally ordered its construction following a suggestion by his doctor, who thought an airy seaside climate would help the king's rheumatoid arthritis.

The palace was then built in Hua Hin, a sleepy seaside town about three hours south of Bangkok. Today, Hua Hin is a popular destination for families and travelers who want to enjoy the beach in a relaxed atmosphere away from the crowds.

Mrigadayavan Palace (Maruekhathaiyawan) was designed to stand completely on stilts, which allows the sea breeze to circulate on all sides and keeps the buildings cool. The palace complex consists of a number of buildings divided into three main groups: the official reception area; the king's private quarters; and the ladies' quarters, originally designed for the Queen and an area no other man, besides the king, could enter.

The palace is an exquisite mix of Western standards (which included a modern-for-the-time bathroom and a badminton court) and traditional Thai architecture that can be visited and enjoyed by everybody today.
