Vimanmek Mansion Museum
Upon his return from Europe in1897, King Rama V (1868-1910) used
his personal money to purchase orchards and paddy fields between
Padung Krungkasem Canal and Samsen Canal for the construction
of a royal garden which he named “the Dusit Garden”.
The first permanent residence in Dusit Garden was Vimanmek Mansion,
built in 1900 by the royal command of King Rama V. The mansion
was in fact his former Summer Palace, the Munthaturaltanaroj Residence
of the Chuthathujrachathan at Koh Sri Chang, Chonburi, that was
dismantled and rebuilt under the supervision of HRH Prince Narissaranuwaddhiwongse.
The celebration for the completion of Vimanmek Mansion was held
on March 27, 1901. King Rama V moved from the Grand Palace to
reside in Vimanmek Mansion for 5 years until the completion of
the Amporn Satarn Mansion in 1906 where he lived until his untimely
death in 1910. As a result, Vimanmek Mansion become deserted and
the royal family moved back to the Grand Palace.
