Memorial Shrine, Bang Pa-In Royal Palace The Royal Palace at Bang Pa-In, some distance from the former capital city of Ayutthaya, remains in occasional use as an official royal residence of the Thai monarchy and is a feast for the eyes. The Palace complex dates to the mid 19th century and comprises a fascinating mixture of styles, set in extensive and beautiful gardens, giving it a highly European flavour. The main residential part of the palace too seems to have come straight from 19th century Europe, with it's neo-classical and Baroque features. The interiors are similarly styled and furnished, though occaisionally traditional Thai motives are woven in, such as in the throne room, but one has to keep reminding oneself that this is still Asia! The first impression of the palace across the artifical lake is stunning as the most beautiful feature, a gilded traditional Thai style pavilion, sits here and appears to float in the water, casting stunning reflections on it's surface. It is approached via a bridge graced with very European neo-classical statues. Other parts of the complex continue to mix international styles, with a whimsical brightly coloured cylindrical observation tower (looking for all the world as if it would belong in some central European royal park) standing next to a stunning Chinese style hall, swarming with dragon and fish roof finials and an ornate red and gold interior. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bang_Pa-In_Royal_Palace / VFL.Ru — надёжный и быстрый фотохостинг с 2009 года
