Phra Ratchawang Bowon Sathan Mongkhon

Historical Site

Former palace in Bangkok, Thailand

The Front Palace, officially the Phra Ratchawang Bowon Sathan Mongkhon (พระราชวังบวรสถานมงคล), was the residence of the royal holder of the same title during the early-to-mid Rattanakosin Kingdom. The palace was built at the same time and in the similar manner as the Grand Palace, following the accession of King Rama I and the foundation of Rattanakosin as the capital city in 1782. It was located at the northern end of the inner fortified city, directly in front of the Grand Palace, where the king lived, and provided security to the city.
