Khun Phaen House is a Thai-style house that
conforms to descriptions in a popular Thai literary work. Khun Phaen’s
house is located on Pathon Road, Tambon Pratuchai, near
Wihan Phra Mongkhon Bophit, which has a total area of 5 rai, is located
within the area of the Ayutthaya liquor plant adjacent to Chedi Phra Si
Suriyothai.
Within the area is a common building, a Somdet Phra Si
Suriyothai pavilion, a mound with marble Semas (boundary stones of a
temple) aged over 400 years where the fragmented parts of Buddha images
taken from Wat Phutthaisawan were buried, etc. The Liquor Distillery
Organization, who sponsored the construction of the park, wished to
devote all good deeds in transforming the former inner part of the
royal compound to all of the late kings who used to live here. King
Rama IX graciously named the park Suan Si Suriyothai on 25 May, 1989
and conferred the park to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit on the eve of her
60th anniversary. The park is open daily to the public from 9.00 a.m.
until 5.00 p.m.
