If there was a category of attraction defined as “cool-weird-serene-semi-boring-relaxing” Bang Pa In would fall into it.

Not knowing much of the history of it—beyond my memory of what Jay had explained it to me as, some King, who took an interest in european/asian culture/architecture, thus building a summer palace at home that comprised of elements from multiple cultures?

Highlights? Gotta be them bad-assed animal shaped shrubs. Look at them! They’re huge!!

And then there was this miniaturized house- made for midgets?

It was a nice day when Ben and I visited. Plenty to walk around in the compound of the palace.

They even had golf buggies!!! If only the king had thought of putting in an 18 hole, if they existed back then.
