Phu Phan Rajanivet Palace

I first had the opportunity to visit the grounds of the Phu Phan Rajanivet Palace during the Songkran period of 2002.
Tours of the grounds must be pre- arranged. 
Unfortunately we were restricted from entering the grounds of the royal household, presumably because they were occupied.



A once in a lifetime opportunity was an invitation to a Royal Party and Fashion Show, November 11, 2003.
People attending included members of the royal family, politicians, diplomats, and Sakon Nakhon residents.
At the conclusion of the fashion show, televised nationwide, locals mingled with Thai fashion models and stars.

Cameras have been forbidden to similar events in subsequent years.
