Go BackChitrlada Palace is the official residence of the King of Thailand, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) and his consort, Queen Sirikit. It is located in Dusit, to the east of the Dusit Zoo. The palace is not open to the public.
King 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.
