About This Tour
ROYAL PALACES AND STUNNING TEMPLES.
First, you will go to the Bang Pa Summer Palace, used by the royal court as a summer retreat in the 17th century, and still used by the Thai royal family today. Most of the buildings date from the reign of King Rama V, but you will see a variety of architectural styles, all set in a large park around ponds and waterways. The combination of Sino, Thai and European architecture is stunning.
