Boxer has reported on this amazing place and there are lots of photos on his website. I went to day and was rather surprised how much I enjoyed the visit. Basically it is a poor pastiche of European Palaces and stately homes but somethings uniquely Thai and Chinese are added which fascinates.

Ideal to visit this cool weather and not many other visitors.

Can you get to this place by the baht bus on Naklua? If so, where to get off. Not clear how far north from North Pattaya Road this place is.

The PTT service station on the sea side of Sukumvit Road is the best landmark.

wow. the scale looks huge. Will just have to go see.

My question is can it be accessed from the Naklua Road side. I take baht buses and prefer to go north on the Naklua side. The maps don't show that side. Does anyone know if this complex is now shown on Google Earth?

I see that it is on Google earth, at тАЬAo Na KluaтАЭ
