It is easy to find the palace. From the chedi, go straight on Ratchadamnoen Road and you're there.
The palace also has a museum dedicated to King Rama VI.
Note that when we were there, it was closed due tp New Year extended holidays that is why we only have a picture of the gate.

How to get to Sanam Chan Palace ?

As there are almost 2 kilometers between the palace and the Phra Pathom Chedi, it is better to take a tuk-tuk. You can easily find outside the gigantic chedi. Otherwise, count 20-25 minutes of walking.
