Description: |
|
Phu Phan Ratchanivet Palace is situated in the heart of Phu Phan
mountain ranges, Phu Phan district, Sakon Nakhon province or
about 16 kilometers from Sakon Nakhon downtown. The palace
serves as the royal residence of Their Majesties the King and
Queen, as well as other royal family members during their visits
to Northeast Thailand. When it is not in use, the Bureau of the
Royal Household allows general public to visit the palace every
day.
Phu Phan Ratchanivet Palace can be recognized as a
heaven for nature enthusiasts because the palace is filled with
assorted kinds of trees and beautiful gardens, particularly
decorative plants. Among others, wild flowering-plants from Phu
Phan, e.g. Dusitta, Manee Dheva, and Thip Kesorn, appear most
popular. However, it is only in winter that tourists can enjoy
the blooms.
All buildings in the palace are collectively
called “Muu Phra Tam-nak” (a cluster of royal residences). The
interior design and modern architectural style instill the sense
of classicism. However, the residence named “Piik Mai” which is
used as a guesthouse has been uniquely designed to look like a
log cabin.
In addition to the cluster of the royal
residences, there are a number of modest-looking sheds. They are
to demonstrate houses in rural areas and exhibit agricultural
tools and everyday household items.
To get there: from
Sakon Nakhon downtown, drive along Highway 213 (Sakon Nakhon –
Kalasin). Phu Phan Ratchanivet Palace is situated just off the
road at KM 14.
Opening hour: every day
