This palace, midway between Hua Hin and Cha Am, was built by King Rama VI as a rainy season retreat in 1923. Known as “the palace of love and hope,” the palace has recently been renovated. The elevated teak walkways and airy rooms provide a beautiful view of the beach and Gulf of Thailand. Admission is free and it’s a quiet place to spend a few hours. Occasionally concerts and theatrical events are staged in the Samoson Sewakamat Hall of the palace as was done in June, 1996, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the King’s accession to the throne.
The palace is located within the grounds of a Border Patrol Police camp. Just tell the guard at the gate that you’re going to the palace and you’ll be admitted. Motor transportation is recommended as it’s a few klicks from the main gate on Petchkasem Road back to the beach.
