Thailand: A restored villa in the grounds of the old Palace of Rama V (1853-1910), Ko Sichang, Chonburi Province. The Palace of Rama V, known locally as Phra Chutathut Ratchasathan was built in the 19th century. King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) used the palace as a summertime retreat from Bangkok's stifling heat. The original palace, the Vimanmek Palace, stood here until it was moved in 1901, piece by piece, to Dusit Park in Bangkok. The golden teak palace was designed by King Chulalongkorn.
