Also written “Marukhathaiyawan” or “Mrigadayavan” Palace. Built in 1923 on the coast between Cha-Am and Hua Hin, it was King Rama VI’s seaside summer palace. Rama VI, who reigned from 1910 to 1925, had been advised by his doctors to restore his health in a cool and dry place. He went to the royal residence at Chao Samran beach, in Phetchaburi, but he was dissatisfied with the unhealthy conditions and he then decided to have another summer palace built. The new place was better ventilated, with niches for water around the pillars to prevent ants from entering the building. Referred to as “the Palace of Love and Hope”, it is a two-storey golden teak pavillion with a series of halls connected to each other.
