Suan kularb Residential Hall (The Royal Palaces and Halls)

Suan kularb Residential Hall
(The Royal Palaces and Halls in Bangkok) 




     H.M.King Chulalongkorn had Suan kularb Residential Hall built for HRH Prince Asdangdechavudh. On the eastern side of the hall is Amphorn Sathan Residential Hall. The hall was named Suan kularb, or rose garden. At present, it is used as a gallery for paintings by H.M. the King.

     The two-storey brick building is in the Western style. The building is painted in a light yellow color, while the roof tiles are red. The interior is beautifully decorated.

     King Rama VI expanded the grounds of Suan kularb and added more buildings. HRH Prince Nakhon Ratchasima lived here until his death in 1924.

     The hall was later used by the office for internal security, and later for other departments of the army. On 17th December, 1996, the army returned Suan kularb to the supervision of the Bureau of the Royal Household.

      Since 28th December, 1999, paintings by HM the King have been put on display at Suan kularb Residential Hall.
