Phaya Thai Palace

Thung Phaya Thai, Thailand

The Phya Thai Palace (Wang Phaya Thai) or Royal Phya Thai Palace (Phra Ratcha Wang Phaya Thai) is on the banks of the Samsen Canal (Khlong Sam Sen) on Rajavithee Road (Thanon Ratchawithi) in the Ratchathewi District of Bangkok. King Rama V bestowed on it the royal name of the Royal Residence of the Phya Thai (Phra Tamnak Phaya Thai) or the Phya Thai Palace, with Phya Thai (Phaya Thai) meaning "lord of the Thais", during his reign and so it was built with this bearing on design.
