ANCIENT RUINS IN THAILAND | Wichayen House, Lopburi Province, Thailand
This ancient ruins in Thailand is named the 'Official Residence For Ambassadors (Wichayen House)' and it's located in the Lopburi province in Thailand.
I love seeing old ruins, there is something about it. Maybe its because they have so much history behind them.
It feels so surreal to be walking in there, and it was very quiet and peaceful, which made it a lot personal to me.
What remains is a picturesque sight of these buildings, which is quite impressive to see in person.
Ban Wichayen was built in the reign of King Narai The Great to serve as the residence of the French Ambassador (Alexandre, Chevalier De Chaumont) who visited the King Narai's court in 1685 (2228 B.E.) and also used as the reception hall to welcome the French envoy (Simon De La Loubere and Claud Ceberet Du Boullay) who visited the Kingdom of Siam in 1687 (2230 B.E.) when the French diplomat departed, Constantine Phaulkon, known as the Thai Nobel title Chao Phraya Wichayen, was assigned to look after the buildings. The residence was mistakenly thought as Phaulkon's own residence by others and called it Ban Wichayen.
The residence compound can be divided into 3 parts: West, Central and East and can easily notice by the front gate of each part. The residence was found that the constructions in the central and the east parts are somewhat connected in term of function such asa chapel and a large 2 storied building.
They are both solidly and securely constructed and on the perfect spot to accomodate and entertain the foreign ambassadors.
A Catholic chapel known as Notre-Dame De Laurette could be used to perform religious ceremonies by the priests who accompanied the foreign diplomatic envoys.
The most notablebuilding is a Catholic chapel with European chapel floor plan but decorated with traditional Thai sty;e nimbus shape window frames and door frames featuring the stucco of elongated petal lotus on the pillars.
Some of the buildings are in a very european style especially the large 2 storied brick and mortar building situated in the east side which featured the Renaissance style windows and arched doorways hich was very popular during that period.
The group of buildings in the west part have been the residential hall, banquet hall, storage room and kitchen.
Wichayen wife's name is Maria Guyomar De Pinha or known by the local people is Toa Thong Keep Ma The Legendary Of The Thai Sweet Recipes.
The Fine arts department has acclaimed and registered this ancient site on the 2nd August 1936.

Maruekatayawan (Mrigadayavan) Palace is one of the oldest and most attractive royal palaces in Thailand. The Maruekatayawan Palace was constructed by His Majesty King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1923 as a place where he could fully relax in great comfort amid a naturally serene atmosphere.
It was designed by an Italian architect with lots of verandas, latticework and covered boardwalks using golden teak from the demolished Hat Chao Samran Palace. The architectural design of the raised-floor wooden palace, with its three sections facing the sea, was drafted by the Monarch himself. Following the completion of the interior decoration in 1924, the King gave it his first visit and stay. His last visit to this seaside palace was made only a few months before his demise in 1925.
This palace is noted for three two story wooden pavilions facing the sea, and is referred to as the palace of love and hope. Series of halls are linked together throughout the palace. Residential halls of the royal consort members are located on the right wing. The central group of halls which is the royal residence consists of royal sitting and relaxing rooms, accommodations for close royal servants called Phisan Sakhon Hall, and the reading room.
In addition, Samoson Sewakamat Hall, a two-storey open pavilion, is used as a meeting place, and sometimes as a theater. Two important dramas were shown on this stage in 1941: Phra Ruang and Wiwah Phra Samut. Chao Phraya Ramrakhop ordered a statue of King Vajiravudh, as a royal dedication, to be enshrined in the hall of Marukhathaiyawan Palace. An annual rite is conducted on November 25, the anniversary of King Vajiravudh's death.
This is one of the many attractive places in Thailand that is a must to visit. This teakwood treasure (known for convenience as The Wooden Palace) stands on Hua Hin beachfront and, now restored. It is proudly billed as The Longest Golden Teak Palace in the World. This palace is only a few minutes by car from Hua Hin.

Ruins & monkeys at Lop Buri, Thailand
Today I've made my furthest foray out of Bangkok to date, a 155 km (96 mile) trek north to Lop Buri, a provincial city where the pace is slower and the country's history is laid bare with many important historical ruins. I take the train from Hua Lamphong station, which is a half hour BTS and MRT transfer from my apartment. Hua Lamphong is Bangkok's main station and it always gives you the feeling that you are setting out on an adventure, trekking into uncharted territories (for me at least), it is all burbling diesel engines under a cavernous canopy. The trip to Lop Buri is slightly under two hours and taking the air-conditioned diesel railcar, one arrives pretty fresh and more than ready to spend the day exploring this ancient and significant city. Lop Buri is just under 80 kilometres north of the ancient capital of Ayutthaya so it has always been important and importantly positioned stop-off throughout history and can link itself to the earliest dynasties that cast wide their embrace over this rolling flat plain that starts at Bangkok. In particular it was of importance to the Dvaravati kingdom that held sway for 400 years after the seventh century until it then fell under Khymer power until the thirteenth century, although its new masters knocked down its landmarks to insert their own influences. Its proximity to Ayutthaya gave it much influence in the following years, and King Narai, who reigned in the seventeenth century, made it his second capital. Like most Thai stations, Lop Buri is neat and well kept, and the immediate advantage is that all the monuments, ruins and other places to explore are within walking distance of the station, meaning that one is able to dispense with the taxi and tuk-tuk drivers that are always so eager to take you the long way round and charge inflated prices as soon as they see you aren't Thai. The city's affinity with monkeys is hinted at by two huge, golden statues that bookend either end of the station. In fact after passing a long since decommissioned steam engine that is now a monument, the first ruined Wat (temple) is actually bang next to the station and leads right up to the platform edge. This particular temple, called Wat Bandi Hin, was built during the rein of King Narai the Great, according to an information board handily placed outside. Opposite the station approach road is Wat Phra Sri Ratana Mahathat, a large ruined temple site complete with a 12th- to 14th-century prang (spire). A couple more turns and we are thrust head first into bustling Lop Buri. Although the power base of this city ebbed southward a long time ago, it's still a busy town with a population of around 25-30,000. Next up is Pang Khaek, another ruin, from the 10th century according to the sign, which sits in the middle of a traffic island. This town has grown up around the ruins here, squeezing them hard in the search for valuable space,. However history cannot ever be shut out in Thailand and the brilliant handiwork of craftsmen that away passed from this planet hundreds and even thousands of years ago, always thrusts themselves forward for recognition, refusing to be chocked away in the 20th century inspired sprawls. From there it is a right turn past the Chao Phraya Wichayen House, the residence of the ambassadors, an impressive ruined facade, and left round the corner to Wat Sao Thong Thong, on France Road a neat complex of ornate 17th century temple buildings that are in rude health. In a map made by French engineers, the site is described as a residence for Persians with a mosque for Islamic religious rites, while there is a building that was once a residence for foreign emissaries, most probably sent to foster ties with Ayutthaya. Meanwhile just round the corner is a bustling day market which squeezes its stalls and their billowing covers through a cluster of side streets. Lop Buri is a delight to browse, just follow the streets twists and turns to unlock its rich history. Along the road the doors of a business are flung wide open to reveal an elderly printing press noisily thumping out copy, the machine all bronzed castings and gleaming oiled pistons. Round the next corner are the towering walls of the Phra Naraj Rajaivet (King Narai's Palace), the centrepiece attraction of the city and a clear demonstration of the royal status Lop Buri once enjoyed. Built between 1665 and 1677, the ruins, I could see from the gate, are immaculately maintained, and there is also a museum reportedly stuffed with interesting historical artefacts. Unfortunately it was closed for lunch when we arrived and we never got round to going back.
Thailand: Lop Buri - Phra Prang Sam Yot
Phra Prang Sam Yot , the temple of the three towers is Lop Buri's finest landmark and is a provincial symbol.
Dating to the 13th century, the building was originally built as a Hindu shrine. Phra Sam Yot is a classic example of the Lop Buri style of architecture, constructed using laterite {a reddish clayey topsoil that hardens when dry} sandstone and the whole, once, faced in decorated stucco.
The three Prangs signify the Hindu Trinity of Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver and Shiva the Destroyer. They are joined together, each on a cruciform base with doorways on each side and connected by a covered walkway that has long since disappeared.
During the reign of King Narai the Great, the shrine was converted into a Buddhist temple and a number of Buddhist images are still evident.....
A large group of Long-tailed Macaques have made Sam Yot their home. Although wild, these monkeys are fed by the local people and the ticket booth at the temple has food for sale for them.
Sukhothai Historical Park - Paying respect to King Ramkhamhaeng
พ่อขุนรามคำแหง
King Ramkhamhaeng the Great was the most famous monarch of the Kingdom of Sukhothai and ruled from 1279-1298. He is regarded as a valiant warrior. At age 19, Prince Khamhaeng participated in his father's successful invasion of the city of Sukhothai, formerly a vassal of the Khmer, establishing the independent Sukhothai Kingdom.
He is also considered a wise statesman, a scholar, diplomat and benevolent monarch to his people. Under his reign Sukhothai was both prosperous and well governed.
He is credited with the creation of the Thai alphabet in 1283, which has little altered to this day.
He also established Theravada Buddhism as the state religion of the country.
Hence, King Ramkhamhaeng, is highly esteemed by the Thai people, and his bronze statue in the centre of the Historical Park in Sukhothai attracts many Thai people, daily, to pay their respects.
