Vimanmek Mansion -
The genesis of Vimanmek can be traced to a small island in the Gulf of Siam not far from where the Chao Phraya River meets the sea. The island is Koh Si Chang, and its potential as a royal holiday resort was first noted in the mid 19th Century by King Rama IV (King Mongkut) who attributed the remarkable health and long-life of its inhabitants to salubrious ocean air. On his private steamship, "Siam Orasumpol", he made periodic trips to this then sparsely populated island.
