Taksin Palace Tour
 

Saw this in yesterday's Bangkok Post: For those that will be in Bangkok on 27 November, there's a tour of Taksin's Palace on offer by the National Museum volunteers. The palace was built by King Taksin who re-grouped the Thais after the sack of Ayutthaya.

Although beautifully restored and maintained, the palace is only open to small groups by prior arrangement. It's rarely seen by tourists. I got a chance to visit last year, and it's really special. You can see my photos at http://chiengfa.com/gallery2/main.ph...serialNumber=2

The tour is limited to 20 people. You need to reserve your place by 12 November. For reservations and more information, email [email protected]

Michael, I read this with interest. Unfortunately, that's soon after we leave Bangkok to fly home. Sigh. It will have to wait for another trip.

Well, if there are enough Fodorites in Bangkok at the same time (I think the minimum is 6 or 8 people) I have the contacts to arrange our own private tour. It would make a very special GTG.

So true! I'd love to do that!
