Known as Phra Thii Nang Wimanmek in Thai, this stunning building is the world's largest golden teak structure, originally built in Ko Si Chang more than a century ago. It was moved in 1901 on the orders of Rama V, who lived here for five years. The three-story mansion was made without a single metal nail (teak ones were used instead). The rooms contain a lavish collection of artifacts from around the world. The museum also puts on traditional Thai dancing shows twice a day. Proper attire is required when visiting this museum.
