I went to Suan Pakkad Palace Museum located at Sri Ayudha Road. Travel easily by getting on the bus no. 14, 74, 77, 204, 159, 536, 539 from Victory Monument. However, I walked out Victory Monument to go to Suan Pakkad Palace Museum. It takes about 15 minutes.

The admission fee is 100 baht.

There are the beautiful postcards for sale in ticket office. After fee payment, I walked along the balcony.

Then, I found a small pond shaded by trees.

The fresh air and the lush garden differs from concrete building outside the palace.

There are 8 houses in Suan Pakkad Palace.

The 1st house is the place where an exhibition of Prince Paribatra's musical instruments on the 1st floor. The 2nd floor is the place displayed antique Buddha images and ancient idols. Because visitors are not allowed to take photo inside the house, I take many photos outside instead.

The 2nd house is the place where an exhibition of Thai antique furniture
