Visit Bang Pa-In Palace (Ayutthaya)

Overview Bang Pa-In Palace

Thai name : พระราชวังบางปะอิน
GPS : 14.232712,100.579130 (See on the map)
My opinion :

Located about twenty kilometers south of Ayutthaya, the small town of Bang Pa In is known for its magnificent Royal Palace. The large palace complex includes a lake with a small island, gardens and several monuments to the eclectic architecture of the royal residences, a Buddhist temple, a Chinese temple, an observation tower, bridges, statues of inspiration European including a replica of the bridge Tiber in Rome and even a Gothic church (excluding visits perimeters). It is this diversity that makes the royal palace of Bang Pa-In atypical.
