Sanam Chandra Palace in Nakhon Pathom
The Sanam Chandra Palace is one of two major tourist attractions in Nakhon Pathom, the other is Phra Pathom Chedi. The Sanam Chandra Palace is an unusual royal palace, built during the early part of the 20th Century, in that the design of many of the buildings is distinctly European.
The construction of the palace was commissioned by Crown Prince Vajiravudh, the future King Rama VI of Thailand. Prince Vajiravudh had taken an interest in the Phra Pathom Chedi and visited regularly. The palace was intended to be a place to stay nearby during his visits to the chedi. The Prince also used the palace as a base for a military unit which was under his command.
