Suan Pakkad Palace

Phaya Thai · design · $

I prefer this to Jim Thompson for architectural study. The gardens here give each pavilion breathing room. You can read each structure as a complete object.

Five traditional Thai houses in a garden compound in central Bangkok. Less visited than Jim Thompson, better preserved, and the garden is a genuine spatial experience.
