Description:
Considered the largest golden teak structure in the world, the Vimanmek Mansion was originally built in 1868 on Koh Si Chang island, a few hours south of Bangkok in the Gulf of Thailand. It was moved to Bangkok in 1910 and became the king’s residence for five years while the Grand Palace was being renovated. Translated as “Cloud Mansion,” its spacious grounds cover 19 other buildings, many packed with small museums of their own. There are classical Thai dancing shows at 10:30am and 2pm, and admission is free if you have a ticket from the Grand Palace that’s less than a week old.
