Vimanmek Palace is also recognized as the world’s largest teak building with a total of 80 rooms and halls. The mansion that was once the royal residence was converted into a museum by Her Majesty the Queen in the 1980s.
Ancient Cloth Museum
If you were pondering about what the clothes of the ancient royals might have been made of, well hop into the Ancient Cloth Museum. This is where the delicately produced silk and cotton cloth used for royal clothing are on display.
Royal Elephant Museum
