Description

Bang Pa-in Summer Palace dates to the 17th century when King Prasat Thong originally constructed a palace on Bang Pa-In Island in the Chao Phraya River. It is not known how long the palace was used before the Burmese invaded Ayutthaya in 1767 but nothing remained in 1807. King Rama IV, better known as King Mongkut (r.1851 - 1868) had a residence, Wat Niwet Thammaprawat, constructed on the outer island which was built by his son and heir King Chulalongkorn. The present palace dates from King Chulalongkorn (r.1868 - 1910). Most of the palace buildings still standing today date to the period 1872 - 1889. No longer used as a summer palace by the current royal family Bang Pa-In is occasionally used for receptions and banquets.
