King Rama II Park, Samut Songkhram

This project is dedicated to honoring His Majesty King Phuttha Lertla Phalai. It was established by the King Rama II Memorial Foundation under royal patronage to thank the nation for the grace of leaving it art and culture as a legacy. He has been recognized by UNESCO as a significant figure in the world of literature. The area where the Royal Memorial Park is located was generously donated by Phra Ratcha Samut Methi, the abbot of Wat Amphawan Chetiyaram, who provided 34 rai of land. This area is significant as it is the birthplace of His Majesty King Buddha Lertlaphalai (King Rama II).

Among the attractions in the park is the King Buddha Lertla Napalai Museum. It comprises nine traditional Thai houses and presents the story of King Rama II, multimedia presentations on royal duties, and outstanding works of literature, visual arts, dance, painting, and architecture. The Museum of Thai Life from the Early Rattanakosin Period includes five Thai-style buildings divided into six areas: the central hall displays wax figures illustrating life in bygone eras, including Buddha rooms, bedrooms, compress massages, and various antique artworks; the Men's House, depicting the lifestyle of Thai men and showcasing valor in the voluntary defense of Thailand, including swords, shields, and the training of Thai boys of that time; Ruean Ying, showing the lifestyle of ancient Thai women; and insights into household management and various crafts such as garland and bai sri weaving, as well as traditional lullabies for children. The terrace is designed in the style of a traditional Thai house and decorated with bentwood and ornamental plants.
