Transportation: How to get to the Palace of Love and Hope?
The most common means of transportation we take when we come to other cities in Thailand is motorcycles. For one thing, other cities are different from Bangkok and have convenient MRT or taxis. Take Hua Hin as an example. There are many double cars on the urban streets. A single trip to Hua Hin city will cost you 120 baht (THB), but you don’t need to hold your documents when renting a motorcycle in Hua Hin. You only need to fill in the basic form and remind you of the time to return the car. The boss can rest assured that you can use the motorcycle. The bike is gone, and the rental fee is only 200 baht (THB) a day, and it is very convenient to build it everywhere.
From the city to the Palace of Love and Hope, you must follow the map to go north. Hua Hin’s external traffic is only one main road – Petchakasem Rd., and you will pass Hua Hin’s Nostalgic Park on the way. Just continue to ride north.While traveling north, the Palace of Love and Hope is next to the opposite lane, and the intersections of each lane change direction are very far apart, so once you see the entrance suggested by the article, you can prepare to drive inside.
but!Since Thailand is a left-hand drive and everyone is driving very fast, I remind everyone to be safe when switching to the inside line!

Let me introduce the background briefly before visiting!
"The King of Thailand Rama VI (1880~1925) graduated from Oxford University in the United Kingdom. He was the first Thai monarch to study in the West. Therefore, under Western education, the most important thing after returning to China is to promote Thailand to modernize. During his tenure, Thais finally got their own surnames, changed the Thai calendar to the Western calendar, popularized elementary compulsory education, and introduced the boy scout system to Thailand, so Thailand is the third country in the world to have boy scouts.
The reason why the Palace of Love and Hope (Mrigadayavan Palace) is so famous is that it was the holiday base of King Rama VI and other royal members. Legend has it that this palace built by King Rama VI in 1923 was for the third It was built by the princess. His princess Suvadhana was pregnant at the time. She hoped that she could cultivate in Hua Hin and give birth to a little prince (the first two princesses failed to give birth to him), but before giving birth King Rama VI fell ill and could only see the little princess born by the princess, and passed away in a short time. "[The above information is referenced fromBaidu】
In the first visit area, many photos of King Rama VI and his princess were displayed, as well as many life photos of his only daughter, Princess Bejaratana Rajasuda. Many materials stated that King Rama VI hoped that the princess would give birth to a child. The prince, failed to achieve his wish... added a lot of romantic feelings, but I also think he is happy to welcome the arrival of the little princess. For parents who have never had children, it is a joy to have a little angel to report to this world, not to mention he is After studying abroad in the West, the emphasis on men and women will not be the same.

The Palace of Love and Hope has now been transformed into a museum, but there are cleaning staff to clean it every day. It is very clean and the floor is shiny and spotless.In order to avoid damage to the ancient palace, the number of visitors will be controlled when visiting the second floor. Before going upstairs, the guard will ask everyone to take off their shoes to prevent tourists from damaging the teak floor. A shoe bag will also be provided intimately. Let everyone put on shoes and return them after the tour.
During the visit, everyone can visit the interior of the palace one by one. Rama VI hired the Italian architect Ercole Manfredi to design the palace. There are three main structures:
1. Banquet hall and staff area
2. King Rama VI's bedroom and seaside passage
3. The royal palace and seaside passage
Each building is about 2 or 3 stories high. The houses in the palace are connected by a long corridor. All living activities are on the second floor. The buildings are facing the sea, in a ㄇ-shaped format, and are located on the left and right sides and in the center of the room. There is a promenade extending to the seaside, from land to the seaside. The design of each room is very airy, with scenery and breeze in all directions, and a viewing rest room and a small dock with an excellent view are designed for the king and the princess.
