Phra Thi NangThe Vimanmek Palace
วิมานเมฆ
The last place that I visit in the Dusit Palace area is the Vimanmek Palace. It is the largest golden teak wood mansion in the world! It was built by King Rama V in 1900 - makes this palace more than 100 years old!
Fun fact : this palace didn't used any form of nails! Marvelous as they can build it 3-floors.
The palace provide a free tour with guide (both in Thai and English) each half hour apart. The tour took nearly 2 hours and you will get brief explanation by your tourist guide. The palace showed a vast collection of the Thai's Kings consisted of gift from local and foreign countries and things that the King by himself. Again - this place doesn't allow camera, video or any form of photography. But you can take picture outside - in the clear area. OK - time to move on!

Another fun fact : On the upper level showed that the trace of once this palace being bombed during the World War II by Japanese Army. During that time the palace is not occupied. Miraculously - the palace didn't burned out despite being made of wood. The people believe it's due to the miracle of Thai King.
