4.   (The Royal) Vimanmek Mansion

***From 2019 on this Royal Mansion is not open to the public, and all the websites introducing this place with beautiful photos are also gone.

This is the largest teak wood mansion in the world.  King Rama V used to live here for a few years.  Later it was closed for many, many years, survived the WWII bombs (two bombs, actually) and reopened about 25 years ago.   In the slideshow I did not include that main teakwood building... For more info please click the link above to its official site.

I added this below in 2019:

updated in 2019:   Sukhawadee New Website

This mansion's owner Dr. Panya is my father's old friend.   We went there mainly to meet him so we did not take any pictures this time.   The premises is incredibly huge and unbelievably gorgeous.   It is also open to the public (entrance fee is needed).
