Chan Kasem Palace

This enclosed palace complex at the confluence of the Pa Sak and Lopburi Rivers was the royal residence of King Naresuan the Great in 1577 and several subsequent crown princes.

But the buildings you see are a reconstruction of the old palace, as it was accidentally burned down during King Boromakot’s reign (1733- 1758). Today, the palace is a museum with permanent exhibits on the history of the Ayutthaya Kingdom and personal artifacts of King Rama IV, who commissioned the construction of the new palace buildings.
