“I felt created”

Feb 2023

The Palace was still closed but the park and beach are open so we went for some food and a massage on the beach. It was lovely 1hour for B 300. So we decided to go again to the same lady but this time it was less than 1 hour and she charged B500. Why do they cheat on tourists, it just left a bad memory.

You cannot visit this palace, all photos for the wrong palace

Mar 2017 • Solo

This is the current King's palace and you cannot visit it. As a number of other reviewers have pointed out all the photos and all the reviewers that say they have visited here have actually visited Mrigadayavan Palace. Why don't trip advisor get a grip and either delete these misleading reviews and photos or move them to the reviews of Mrigadayavan Palace? I went there yesterday and they are definitely photos and reviews of there.
This is the problem with the public being able to review places without any check being made, they can write rubbish that misleads the rest of us. I nearly spent the day and paid for a taxi to visit this palace but fortunately some reviewers do know what they are talking about and advised it would be a complete waste of time and money.

Mix-up of name and palace

Oct 2016 • Solo

As pointed out several times already...the Klai Kang Won Palace is not open to tourists. It is the Hua Hin residence of the Royal family which is located on the seaside along Phetchkasem Road a small distance north of the town center. You can recognize the Klai Kang Won Palace as a beautiful fenced in property with military personnel stationed along the sidewalk guarding it.
Again...not open to the public!

Mistaken Identity

Mar 2018 • Friends

Reading through the TripAdvisor reviews for this property, I realise that many people are confusing Klai Kang Won Palace with Mrigadayavan Palace (also known as Maruekhathaiyawan Palace).

Mrigadayavan Palace is near Cha-Am and Klai Kang Won Palace is in Hua Hin, and about 20 kilometers separate them.

Mrigadayavan Palace was built in the 1920s during the reign of Rama VI. It is a large beachside complex built from golden teak and is a magnificent example of Thai architecture of that era, with touches of Victorian influence.

It is no longer used by any members of the royal family and it is open to the public.

On the other hand Klai Kang Won Palace is still used regularly as a retreat by members of the royal family, and was a favourite resort of the late king, Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX).

As such, the only way you are going to get inside is in the unlikely event that the new king , His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun (Rama X), is in residence and invites you for afternoon tea. Please practice saying his name before you go.

But you can still peer through the railings of the extensive gardens, but these hide any of the buildings inside, so I cannot tell you what they look like.

"Klai Kang Won Palace" vs. "Mrigadayavan Palace"

Jan 2016 • Couples

WRONG REVIEWS & WRONG PHOTOS

Almost all of the reviews (and definitely all the photos) for this Tripadvisor listing are about "Mrigadayavan Palace" ... AND NOT "Klai Kang Won Palace".

The 2 palaces are located about 25km apart from each other ... one is in Cha-Am and the other is in Hua Hin.

You can pay a fee to visit the timber-stilted "Mrigadayavan Palace" (of a former monarch) in Cha-Am ... but you CANNOT VISIT the Spanish masonry-built "Klai Kang Won Palace" (of the current monarch) in Hua Hin for any price!!!

The general public is not permitted to visit "Klai Kang Won Palace" (except by royal invitation only).

Here are the addresses of these 2 DIFFERENT palaces:

Klai Kangwon Palace, 4, Hua Hin, Hua Hin District, Prachuap Khiri Khan 77110

Mrigadayavan Palace, 1281, Phetkasame Road, Tambon Chaam, Amphoe Chaam, Phetchaburi, 76120, 76120

Reviewers have confused this place with the Mrigadayavan Palace!

Feb 2014 • Solo

The pictures and reviews mistakenly posted here are of the Mrigadayavan Palace which is open to the public. The Klai Kang Won Palace (which is apparently Spanish or Florida style) is NOT open to the public as far as I know because that's the palace where the King resides. You can only see the gate etc from the road.

Beautiful Place

Jan 2014 • Friends

It was really beautiful place for me.
I went there by taxi from central Hua Hin. It was pretty far.
The building and the garden were really beautiful.
I could here some Thai music they were playing.
I will recommend this place.

Do not confuse this palace with Mrigadayavan Palace

Aug 2019 • Friends

This place is off limits, even I myself got this palace mixed up with the other palace (Mrigadayavan palace). Klai Kang Won palace is not open to public except for certain periods or invites only.

a little piece of thai history

Apr 2015 • Couples

on revisiting the palace after a few years it was very sad to see that the ongoing maintenance is so slow that parts of the structure are not available to enter.still interesting but hope it is not allowed to fall into more disrepair.

The King's Hua Hin residence

Apr 2015 • Friends

The palace is the King's residence and is not open to the public. The only way of seeing it, is from the road or as you walk by.
