Go BackKing Bhumibol is the first king of the Chakri Dynasty to occupy Chitrlada Palace. He relocated there from the Grand Palace after the demise of his older brother King Rama VIII.
As with the ancient palaces of Siam, Chitrlada Palace is surrounded by a moat and shielded from view by leafy trees. Within the palace grounds is the Chitrlada School where the children of the royal family receive private tutoring.
A portion of the ground is occupied by buildings where the king conducts experiments on agriculture. Also located in the palace grounds are the stables and training grounds of the royal white elephants.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
