BANGKOK — The palace that served as the center of power for King Taksin’s brief reign is open to the public for free through Dec. 28.

 

The facility, which Bangkokians call “the Old Palace,” contains a museum illustrating the history of the Thonburi Kingdom that lasted from 1767 to 1782, when the capital city was located on the western side of what is now Bangkok.

Interesting name "King Taksin" but without an "H".

Subtleties of spelling/pronunciation in Thai language :biggrin:

A well known Thai blogger (Richard Barrow) got hints that foreigners would be denied entrance?

That would be another "nice move".

Quote

Foreigners can only visit if they are accompanied by a Thai national

Nice guest friendly attitude.

Since years they get the finger from me for all their dual price/Thai only/accompanied attractions/national parks whatever :bah:
