Join Ruth Gerson as she guides us around this very special place, the Suan Pakkad Palace Museum in Bangkok. The name translates as "Palace of the Lettuce Garden". It opened to the public in 1952 and was once the home of the Thailand horticultural society. 

This former royal residence consists of eight traditional Thai teak wood houses and a newer museum structure, the Lacquer Pavilion, as well as an elegant garden. The museum houses a collection of pre-historic Ban Chiang artifacts and fine arts items, theater puppets and more.

The 17th-century Lacquer Pavilion, the most significant structure there, was brought from Ayutthaya, dismantled and re-assembled at the palace compound. It is a classic example of a Buddhist library. The Marsi Gallery (when there is a show) exhibits a number of contemporary artworks.
