Saranrom park

This was originally a Royal Park in Saranrom Palace, which King Rama IV ordered to be built as a residence towards the end of his reign. Sadly, the king passed away before he could take up residence there.

In the reign of King Rama V, it served as a residence for members of the Royal Family and a place to welcome official guests. It became the venue for festivals in the cool season throughout'' the reign of King Rama VI.

After the change of government, King Rama VII donated it as offices for the People's Party and the location of the People's Party Circle. In 1960, the cabinet presented it to Bangkok Municipality. The Royal Park was then revived as a trefoil garden and public park.

Monument to HM Queen Sunantha Kumareerat and HRH Prince Kannaporn Phetcharat: In the reign of King Rama V, the Queen and the young prince died in a boating accident. On the orders of the king, their ashes were kept at the south end of the park in a marble monument dedicated to their memory. Their biographies are carved on the monument, with words of remembrance from King Rama V in both Thai and English.

Chao Mae Takhien Deity: This shrine to the spirit of the Takhien tree was built in the reign of King Rama VI. It is in the form of a three-level, octagonal Chinese pavilion.

Glass House: This houses a school where botany and such horticultural techniques as hydroponic planting and grafting are taught.
