Witnessed many joyful occasions over the years, not least the marriage of Their Majesties the King and Queen.

 

ADDING TO the many wonderful memories of Their Majesties the King and Queen is Phra Tamnak Yai of Sra Pathum Palace in Pathum Wan district. It was here that the royal wedding ceremony of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Her Majesty Queen Sirikit took place on April 28, 1950, as did that of Their Royal Highnesses Prince Mahidol and the Princess Mother 30 years earlier.

The Phra Tamnak Yai building is a central historical site for the Chakri Dynasty and the official residence of the Mahidol family. Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn continues to live at Sra Pathum Palace today.

 

It was here that the Mahidols spent part of their childhood with His Majesty’s royal grandmother, Queen Savang Vadhana, the consort King Chulalongkorn (Rama V), the Princess Mother Her Royal Highness Princess Sri Nagarindra, King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII), and Her Royal Highness Princess Galayani Vadhana.
