Phra Ram Ratchaniwet
Intended as a rainy-season retreat by King Rama V and started in 1910, the palace was eventually completed by a German architect for King Rama VI in 1916. It was modeled on a palace of Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm and consequently has a grand European-style design with art nouveau flourishes. Arranged around an open courtyard, the palace has a distinctive portico with decorative panels that reach to the roof of the upper floor. The dining room has ornate ceramic tiles. Located on a Royal Thai Army base, the former palace now operates as a museum.
