More information on Vimanmek Museum
Known as Phra Thii Nang Wimanmek in Thai, this stunning building is the world's largest golden teak structure, originally built in Ko Si Chang more than a century ago. It was moved in 1901 on the orders of Rama V, who lived here for five years. The three-story mansion was made without a single metal nail (teak ones were used instead). The rooms contain a lavish collection of artifacts from around the world. The museum also puts on traditional Thai dancing shows twice a day. Proper attire is required when visiting this museum.
