Sanam Chandra Palace’s built by King Rama VI. It has been reopen for the public in 2020, but during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021Q1-2. So they open only the outdoor area for 2 periods of time; morning & evening with the appropriate dress code ; long pants& skirt ladies, but for men shorts must be cover your knees, top with sleeves. You will enjoy the greenery & several style of architectures both authentic Thai & Europe inspired.

Nice place for an evening stroll! 🍃🙂🌈

Refreshing park full of green to visit. There are many things you can do here. My favorite one is feeding the fishes, birds and also hens lol.

super super recommendedddddd :-)

💡Noted: make sure you not wearing revealing clothing.

I have been there since 2016 but just have chance to review (the palace is close now). It’ was nice walking around there, greenery with historical. We study history and enjoy to know it.
Good memory for me.

Lovely garden filled with Thai national heritage, pleasant to walk in and well-maintained. Interesting features include a football museum as the garden housed the first football pitch in Thailand which belonged to Rama VI.

To note:
1. Dress appropriately with sleeved tops and below-knee-length bottoms.
2. Bring an umbrella as you are going to be under the sun most of the time.

A beautiful park and well-groomed territory, it is nice to walk and enjoy the fresh air..
The castle looks beautiful, inside is a museum, before you go to this place, be dressed up properly, as usual for girls shoulders and knees supposed to be closed, even it's not a temple though, security on the entrance are checking☺

More of a large park than a Palace. Nice park. Lots of people walking/running for exercise. VERY serious about no shorts - even for men. Looks like the rule pants below the knee, although I saw several people there to exercise with pants slightly above the knee.

Good
Before ascending the throne, the then Crown Prince Vajiravudh came to this city to pay homage to Phra Pathommachedi. He wished to build a palace here as a retreat and a residence during his pilgrimage trip to the stupa. He viewed the area as a strategic location. In 1907, he bought about 335 acres of land around Noen Prasart Hill (Thai: เนินปราสาท; RTGS: Noen Prasat; "Castle Hill") from local people. Noen Prasart Hill is believed to be the site of an ancient palace. He then had Luang Phitak Manop (Noi Silapi, later Phraya Visukam Prasit) designed and supervised the construction of the palace. The construction began in 1902 by the end of Chulalongkorn's reign (1868 – 1910). It was completed in 1911. Vajiravudh named it Sanam Chandra Palace after a natural pool nearby called "Sa Nam Chand" (Thai: สระน้ำจันทร์; RTGS: Sa Nam Chan; "Moon Pond"). In addition, the king had another plan for this palace. It was to serve not only as a retreat, but also as a stronghold during a national crisis. Here, he regularly held practices for the Wild Tigers Corps, a para – military troop.[1] According to Vajiravudh's will, the palace was given to the government to be the site of military academy. However, after reign of Vajiravudh the palace has been closed and transformed to Nakhon Pathom's administrative area. Some palace halls had been dismantled and moved to National Museum in Bangkok for preservation.

Beautiful temple and Palace.
Nice garden and entrance are free here.

Great park to wander around in the morning or evening. Beautiful palace that blending between European and Thai styles.

We came and it closes, so for everyone's benefit, here is the opening time to visit the place. I believe you still cannot go in, but the outside atmosphere would be nice for a walk or photo

A good stroll at the park. You can see a lot of chicken, squirrels, pigeons and fish here.

Love this place. It was so relaxing & surrounded by nature. Just 1 hr away from bkk

Tiny but very pretty castle. The buildings were open when we visited and it was nice to wander around inside and see the King's bedroom, study, bathroom and the inside of the bridge. No photos are allowed inside the palace though. Some photos and letters were also displayed in the museum but all the letters and labels were written in Thai. Well worth a short visit.

Best place to visit Palace and to walk in a park. You will see historical views here.

Another famous landmark in Nakhon Pathom. Spend a chill afternoon walking in the park and palace. Free entrance in the evening (but all residences will be closed)

This palace was on the same grounds as my wife's college. It's bloody gorgeous. The giant komodo dragon looking lizards aren't harmful (I was told) (Edit: They are dangerous just don't mess with them). Don't make any promises to the elephant God or offer him anything... just respect the view. Best part, look into the story in relation to the giant dog statue in memorial of King Rama the fifths dog. That's a true dog lover and a man to be respected.

Sanam Chandra Palace is a palace complex built by King Rama XI in 1907. The complex has a beautiful park full of giant trees and perfectly manicured lawns winding around ponds and lakes.

A royal palace at outskirt of Bangkok (Nakornpathom). Good place for sightseeing.

A must place in Nakhon Pathom! Beautiful palace and garden. Worth the visit. There's tour available if you're interested in the history.
