Chandrakasem National Museum | Ayutthaya

Chandrakasem Palace is the original palace dating back to the Ayutthaya period. It was built in 1577 as the residence of King Naresuan the Great. During the Rattanakosin period, King Mongkut ordered a renovation to use it as a temporary royal residence. Later, under King Chulalongkorn, the palace was designated the "Monthly Office of the City Administration."

The Chandrakasem Palace was the first regional museum, founded by Phraya Boran Ratchathanin. It was later renamed the Boran Museum, the Ayutthaya Museum, and finally the Chandrakasem National Museum.

Chandrakasem Palace is located on the banks of the Pa Sak River (Khlong Khu Khue Na), Hua Ro subdistrict, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya district, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province.
