Thonburi Palace is mostly closed for public as it now serves as the headquarter of Thailand's Navy headquarters. However, during special days such as its anniversary, it would be open to public for a short period. While taking pictures is prohibited within the buildings, visitors are allowed to take pictures outside the buildings.
The old palace of King Taksin, who fought the Burmese invasion and initially moved the capital city from Ayutthaya to Thonburi side of Bangkok. This palace does not have elaborate decorations, compared to the Grand Palace across the river, but it’s another slice of Thai history that’s worth exploring. The place is located nearby Wat Arun so you can get here from the river crossing ferry which costs 5 Bht each trip. Or you can take the MRT Blue line and get off at Issarapap station, then take a 10 minutes walk to this place. The palace will be open for 2 weeks in December every year for public visit.
Open once a year from December 14 to 28, 09.30-15.30, Thonburi Palace is a must for the Thai people to pay respect to King Taksin the Great.
We learn how King Taksin fight for Siamese independence from the Burnese who sacked the capital city of Ayuthya and burnt everything to the ground. Also we see how the royalty in the early years of the independence lived.
