Suan Hong Residential Hall

This building is a two-storey wooden structure with highly ornate fretwork on the pediment and eaves. H.M. King Chulalongkorn had it constructed for H.M. Queen Sawang Wattana (the Queen Grandmother). The Queen resided here from 1902 to 1910. The building now houses collections of pictures of royal rites and ceremonies ranging from the ceremony for laying a one-month-old royal infant in a cradle, royal state procession and royal barge procession, the triyampawai ceremony; Giant Swing ceremony or a Brahmin rite to welcome the god Siva. Moreover, it also houses photographs of activities of HRH Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn. These pictures are valuable historical records.
