 Klai
Kangwon Palace stands by the sea in the Hua Hin District of
Prachuap Khirikhan Province.
King Prajadhipok (Rama VII) has graciously built it as a summer palace
for Queen Rambai Barni by using money from Privy Purse. He ordered Prince
Iddhidehsarn Kridakara, an architectural graduate from the Ecole Des Beaux
Arts in France and the director of the Department of Fine Arts, to design
and supervise the construction.
Preparation of the site began in October 1926, and on September 21, 1927
construction work for royal mansion and other buildings started.
 A
celebration to mark the completion of the royal mansion was held on 10 -11
April 1929 and other structures were added until 1933.
His Majesty King Bhumibol (Rama IX) has graciously commanded to expand
the area of the palace. He ordered to build a mansion for HRH Princess Maha
Chakri Sirindhorn, and other buildings in the same style as the original
seventh reign buildings so as to preserve harmony among the buildings of the
palace. Also, the accommodation has been built for their entourage.
