There are several classes of palaces in Thailand. The Grand Palace is the main palace of the monarch. This was constructed by King Rama I as his residence, the center of administration of the kingdom, and as the center of royal ceremonies. During the early Ratanakos in period, this palace was called Phra Ratchwang Luang In the Fourth Reign, it was renamed Phra Borom Moho Rotchawang or the Grand Palace. Nowadays, it serves mainly as the center of royal ceremonies and as a center for receiving foreign dignitaries.
Phra Ratchawang is also a royal palace, but of lower status than Phra Borom Moho Ratchawan g It is also the residence of a monarch, and a palace that is designated as Phra Ratchawang must be declared to be so by a royal decree. Up to now, 19 such palaces has been declared Phra Ratchawang such as Boworn Satharn Mongkol Palace , Sanam Chan Palace, etc.
Phra Tamnak refers to a building that is the residence of King, Queen, Queen mother, or the crown prince or princess, such as Phra Tamnak Siriyalai at Ayutthaya and Phra Tamnak Doi Tung at Chiang Rai.
Tamnak refers to a building that is the residence of a member of the royal family, whether of the rank Chao Fa, Phra Ong Chao, or Mom Chao.
Palaces and Residential Hall were built not only as royal residences and private retreats, but also for other-purposes. Palaces built in the outlying provinces of the kingdom were designed as places where the king could observe his people at first hand. In the Fifth Reign, palaces were built to demonstrate to the world that Siam was a civilized country, and not a land of wild jungles only In the Sixth Reign, when the danger from European colonial powers was at its peak, King Rama VI ordered Sanam Chan Palace constructed as the second capital in case of a foreign invasion.
In the early Ratanakas in period, besides Phra Ratchawang Luang, there were official residences for certain royal incumbents, namely, Wang No and Wang Lang (Front and Rear Palaces). Wong No was the residence of Maha Uparat, or Viceroy, and was called officially Phra Ratchawang Boworn Satharn Mongkol. Wang Lang was the official residence of Khrom Phra Ratchawang Boworn Satharn Phimuk. The front and rear palaces were in imitation of the military concept of a forward and reserve army.
The construction of palaces for the kings, the crown princes and other members of royalty h ad been carried out since the days of the ancient capital of Ayutthaya. During the First and Third Reigns of the Ratanakosin period, the traditional method of construction was adopted, namely, wooden structures covered with a tile roof In the Fourth Reign, the construction of brick buildings was adopted. If the pal ace belonged to a prince of Chao Farank, it was surrounded with a wall topped with bai sema. The palaces of Phra Ong Chao did not have a bai sema wall. Moreover, Chao fa princes had a two-tier roof, whereas Phra Ong Chao princes had only a one-tier roof. Many palaces took place in Bangkok during the First to Fifth Reigns. The construction of provincial pal aces was begun in the Fourth Reign and has continued to the present day.
There are three palaces that were constructed in the First to Third Reigns, namely, Phra Borom Moho Ratchawang (Grand Palace), Phra Ratchawang Boworn Sathorn Mongkhol, and Phra Ratchowang Boworn Satharn Phimuk. In the Fourth Reign, a total of 12 Phra Ratchawang and Tamnak were constructed in Bangkok and the provinces. In the Fifth Reign, two palaces were constructed in Bangkok, namely, Dusit Palace and Phyathai Palace, and six in the provinces. During the Sixth Reign, five more palaces were constructed in Bangkok and provinces, namely, Chitralada Palace, Sanam Chan Palace, Phra Ram Ratchanivet Residential Hall, and Maruekhathayawan Residential Hall and Khai Luang Haat Chao Samran. In the Seventh Reign, the Klai Kangwon Palace was built at the seaside resort of Hua Hin, in Prachuab Khirikhan Province.
