Description

Begin your day at Deva Manor, a restored 130-year-old Victorian-Thai palace that once belonged to Prince Kitiyakara Voralaksana. Enjoy a brief welcome tea session or try their signature dish, Khao Phat Pra Tam Nak, an ancient royal-recipe fried rice served with crispy pork lard, pork sausage, and soft-boiled egg. Next, walk down toward the historic waterfront at Thewet Pier. Explore the bustling 50-year-old plant and flower market lining the canal, where locals buy decorative plants, garden tools, and street snacks. Enjoy picturesque views of historic wooden homes and bridges along the Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem canal. Tucked away inside Wat Devaraj Kunchorn is the Golden Teak Museum (Baan Kaew), a remarkable two-story traditional house built on 59 giant golden teak pillars originating from the mid-Ayutthaya period (approx. 500 years old). Inside, learn about the Chakri Dynasty, view sacred Ayutthaya Buddha statues, and see life-sized wax figures of Thailand's Supreme Patriarchs. Conclude your tour at The Raweekanlaya Bangkok, a tranquil resort converted from the former residence of King Rama VI’s royal nanny. Here, you can opt for a Royal Thai Massage (Nuad Thai Rajasamnak), an authentic, polite press-point technique historically reserved for royalty, or sample rare palace-style appetizers like Ma Hor and Som Chun at The Raweekanlaya Dining.
