Mrigadayavan Palace
By the beach in Hua Hin, there stands a fresh and elegant palace—its pale yellow pillars and light blue walls bring a sense of tranquility to those who wander through. It has a romantic name—"Mrigadayavan Palace", but the story behind it ends in regret. The rise of Hua Hin is closely linked to King Rama VI of Thailand. He built this palace in the hope that his beloved consort would bear him a little prince. However, it was not to be. After the consort gave birth to a little princess, King Rama VI left Thailand and never returned. His younger nephew succeeded him as King Rama VII. Today, only this palace remains as an eternal memory. Walking down a long path, you will see an inconspicuous little green door, which is the entrance. It lacks the golden splendor one expects of a palace, offering instead the elegant tranquility of a private courtyard.Cha-am · 11.2km from downtown

If you travel to Hua Hin, Thailand, you must visit this place. The Marukataiyawan Palace was built by King Rama VI in 1923 in the hope that his wife would give birth to a little prince. However, his wish did not come true. After his wife gave birth to a little princess, King Rama VI immigrated to Switzerland. King Rama VII was succeeded by his youngest nephew, and now only this palace is left as a permanent memory.

The beach is super clean. The weather is great. The sun is gentle but not too hot. You can take off your shoes and walk comfortably. If you have a chance, I'd like you to go. It's a place to relax near Bangkok. Let's go!

There are many small animals. If you like small animals, don’t miss it! It is recommended to go with the children and kiss the animals. The sheep are so cute. The entire farm is designed in Swiss style and is also a great place for taking photos!

It was very interesting, but it was too hot the day I went. I paid 400 baht for a guided tour at the entrance. In places like this, you really need a guide to truly understand a country. The ticket also allows you to watch the performance.

Forced to join a group, place is very crowded. Details are very nice to see. Be aware if you purchase an online ticket you need to book it at least 1h in advance. And no bagpacks allowed, not even water which I find critical in warm weather conditions

Truly a remarkable experience, Huge area with a lot of beautiful old ancient buildings and the ruins. Highly recommend for couples and tourists who wish to take a photos especially bring a photographer to do it better. Take train up to Kheha and then take a taxi ( will cost you around 100 thb). Inside the ancient city - take the tramp, cart or e bike all are good options and don’t do it by walk. At least keep 5-6 hours for this and a good camera is so essential.
