Suan Hong Residential Hall


Suan Hong Residential Hall is a building located within Dusit Palace. It is two storeys high and is noted for its ornate fretwork, especially on the pediment and eaves. The Suan Hong Residential Hall was built by His Majesty King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) for Her Majesty Queen Savang Vadhana (the Queen Grandmother), who lived there from 1902 until 1910.
