Bang Pa In Palace photo copyrighted by: Brian McMorrow Bang Pa-In Palace is not situated in Ayutthaya city proper, but is well worth
making an effort to get to see. The palace comprises a collection of buildings
of various ages and various architectural styles surrounded by a lake. Originally built by King Prasattong, Bang Pa-In was the residence of all the kings in the Ayutthaya period but it was let unoccupied when Bangkok became the capital. Its importance was reestablished in 1851 when King Mongkut restored the palace and monarchs resumed residing there.
