Suan
Pakkard Palace
The
"Lettuce Farm Palace" is a veritable oasis of green
in the surrounding concrete of the city. Located on Si Ayutthaya
Road, Suan Pakkard was once the residence of Princess Chumbot
of Nagara Svarga, a leading Thai art collector.
The
palace grounds house five traditional Thai houses from Chiang
Mai with displays of Thai art, antiques and furniture, and
beautifully maintained tropical gardens with many indigenous
plant species. One house accommodates an extensive collection
of seashells, minerals and painted pottery from Ban Chiang,
a bronze-age settlement in northeastern Thailand. At the back
of the compound is the Ayutthayan-period Lacquer Pavilion,
which features murals of the Ramayana and scenes from daily
life in Ayutthaya.
Suan
Pakkard is open daily from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm except Sundays
and national holidays. The admission fee is 150 baht.
