The holiday residence of the world's longest reigning monarch, H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej, is a Spanish-inspired building offering an interesting addition to Thailand's architecture. Only frequented by those who receive an invitation, the nearest tourists will get to the property is a gate-side view.
However, the former residence of Rama VI is open to the general public, welcoming guests to pause and view its wonders that include manicured gardens with lush greenery. Situated north of Hua Hin, the palace is the longest golden teak palace in the world, making it an absolute must for visitors to Hua Hin.
