Phra Bowon Ratchawang Si Tha is in Song Khon Sub – district.King
Pinklao had this palace constructed on the western side of the
Pa Sa Sak River in Ban Si Tha sub-district in Saraburi in the
similar period as when Kina IV had Phra NaraiRatchaiwet
constructed in Lopburi. Due to the aim to search for a location
for a wartime. King Rama IV commanded King Pinklao (his
brother) to conduct an inspection in Nakhon Ratchasima. King
Pinklao conducted the construction of his residence in Ban Si
Tha Sub-district because from there Khao Khok was easily
accessible. King Pinklao, thus, resided at palace throughout his
life. The structure of the residence was all made of wood. Some
parts were used to construct a palace for his children and
others were destroyed and lost. At present time, the location of
the palace has been inhabited by the local people. The compound
of the residence was very large, covering an area of
approximately more than 150 rai. Its lotus base of a wooden
house is made of bricks and cement. The base is approximately 20
meters wide and 40 meters long. It is assumed to have been
constructed into 2 houses by using very hard bricks (4 inches,
thick, 6 inches wide and 12 inch the long). At this time it can
hardly be noticed. However, there is an area of around 4 Rai
left which the Kamnan – village headman, made of brick and
cement with traces of wooden plates on the south of the pond
which is called “Bueng Talat Chai” by the locals. It was a
gathering site of the ladies of the court when the king took a
vacation at this place every year. It has also been told that
the king’s ladies were fluent in singing Laotian Songs that he
himself was able to play Khaen – a Laotian flute and sing
Laotian songs. He also wrote many books of lyrics for Laotian
songs, which have been preserved in the National Library until
the present time. |
