Sanam Chandra Palace is located in Nakorn Pathom, a province 56 km south of Bangkok. The palace is about a kilometer away from the majestic pagoda, Phra Pathom Chedi. The location was formerly called “Noen Prasart”, and believed to the site of an ancient palace. Close to Noen Prasart, before a Brahman shrine, was located a natural pool called “Sa Nam Chand” (presently Sa Bua)
