Description: |
|
The gem of the hood, Bang Khun Phrom is regarded as one of the
most beautiful Western-style palaces in Thailand. The gigantic
palace is composed of two mansions linked by an elevated
walkway. Tamnak Yai, the main building, was built in 1906 to
serve as the residence of Prince Paribatra Sukhumbhand, an heir
of King Rama V. Designed by some of the greatest architects of
the time—Carl Sandreckzki, Paolo Remedi and Mario Tamagno (the
latter also designed the gigantic Ananta Samakhom Throne
Hall)—Tamnak Yai features a unique architectural style that
reflects the ideals of the Industrial Revolution, which was
happening at the time of construction. Elaborate baroque and
rococo motifs, as well as fresco murals and priceless furniture
are seen throughout the building. Tamnak Somdej or the south
wing was the royal residence of the prince’s mother, Princess
Consort Sukumalmarasri. It boasts an old-style German barnhouse
architecture featuring massive windows that welcome the breeze
from the river. Due to political transitions, the palace has to
come under the ownership of Bank of Thailand, which has tried to
uphold the structure’s original beauty and preserve it as a
museum of sorts. Tamnak Yai is open to the public but Tamnak
Somdej remains closed. |
