This is "Ma-ruk-ka-tay-ya-wan" summer palace, located at Phetchaburi province, about 150 km. from Bangkok by south.

The palace was built in 1923 and finished in 1924 by the order of King Rama 6th's (the present King of Thailand is King Rama 9th).

These pictures were taken by My Olympus E-330 and RMC Tokina 2.8/28mm

If you have a chance to come to Thailand, try to visit this palace.

This Summer Palace is a very nice location. Your photos are good captured. The Lens is sharp with excellent contrast. I must look for this lens.

This building seems to be very well kept (like new) to be made in the beginning of 20th century.
Congratulations on the beautiful series, it's always nice to be able to know places that are distant and we don't know about. Thank you.

An excellent "trip", looking at these images along with your narrative! Beautiful work, and I am always loving to see places that I don't know much about! Thanks very much!

Great series, I particularly like the composition of the penultimate one.
