"This has to be the most amazing place to visit says Jackie"
 
Wehart Chamrun Residential Hall,
Bang Pa-in, Ayutthaya.
 
I cannot tell you  much about this place 
but I did find a very interesting snippet.
 
 
The Death of Queen Sunanda In 1881, Queen Sunanda Kumariratana and her only daughter Princess Karnabhorn Bejraratana were on their way to the Bang Pa-In Palace when the royal barge carrying them capsized.

King Chulalongkorn, shocked by the events, demoted and jailed the vizier who obeyed the letter of the law at such cost and erected a memorial to her in Bang Pa-In.

  1. Fabulous selection of cards to add to your collection. We have been to Singapore twice, but yes it is not cheap! Never been to Vietnam but yes have been to Australia. The only part of Thailand we have been to is Phuket and it was the best holiday we have ever had. Keep well and warm, the weather is about to warm up for a bit. Diane xox
