Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin

"Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin is a remarkable landmark in Bangkok, located along Ratchadamnoen Avenue near the Democracy Monument. This elegant pavilion, constructed in 1989, was built as a residence for the king during royal visits, replacing the older Salachalermthai. The pavilion is a striking gold structure situated at the corner of Ratchadamnoen Road and Thanon Maha Chai, in an area bustling with pedestrians, making it a popular spot for tourists. Adjacent to the pavilion is the King Rama III Royal Monument, a bronze statue of the king seated on a throne, which stands larger than life. The monument, erected by the Fine Arts Department in 1990, is an important tribute to the king's contributions. The surrounding area is adorned with lush plants, and visitors can also explore the nearby Royal Reception Pavilion and three smaller pavilions known as Sala Rai. The spot is often crowded with travelers eager to capture photographs of this golden landmark, which adds to the charm of the Phra Nakhon area. After visiting the pavilion, tourists can easily explore nearby attractions such as Mahakan Fort, the Golden Mount, Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall, Democracy Monument, Queen’s Gallery, Wat Ratchanatdaram, and Lohaprasart. From the Royal Pavilion Mahajetsadabadin, you can also enjoy a view of a golden stupa, adding to the area's historical and architectural appeal."
