Meet the Pink House in Phrae, Thailand | Meet a pink dream time

[Love] In Phrae Province, Thailand, there is a building that seems to have come out of a fairy tale world - the Khunwangburi Pink House. It is like a shining pearl, exuding a unique charm. 🎀 This pink house was built in 1897 according to the idea of ​​Buta, the first wife of the last king of Phra Kaew, Priyat Pawan. It is a gingerbread house style that was popular during the reign of King Rama V. Its former owner was the King of Pacheng, a descendant of Prince Chulamanisiriyumpowon of the Mangrai Dynasty. When you first see it, the sweet pink appearance will definitely surprise you. 😻The pink wall looks particularly soft under the sunlight, as if it were given life. Walking into the Pink House is like walking into a treasure box filled with historical memories. Antiques passed down from generation to generation in the family are displayed here, with various furniture, exquisite silverware, and quaint pottery arranged in an orderly manner. Among them are important documents such as slave trade documents and forest concession documents dating back more than 100 years. They silently tell stories of the past and bear witness to the changes of time. Moreover, the house was named the "Best Conservation Building" in 1993 by the Siamese Architects Association under royal patronage. 🤩 Khunwangburi Pink House is also the filming location for Thai and foreign movies, TV series and documentaries, which also reflects its unique charm from the side. Imagine that the romantic scenes in those movies are presented here one by one, as if you are in the plot of the movie. 📽 There are many interesting little details when visiting here. It houses a pagoda housing relics and an ancient black Buddha statue, as well as 108 holy stupas, and the entire temple is surrounded by glass walls. The large Buddha statue named "Surawadi" in the temple is solemn and majestic, and there is also a small wooden Buddha statue that is also unique. There is a mural of a Buddha statue in Phrae Province. If you go there to worship it in February every year and have the opportunity to participate in the Buddha statue worship activities, you will be regarded as a person favored by Buddha. Isn’t it meaningful? 🧐 There are also some things to pay attention to when it comes to clothing. If you want to visit some special parts of the temple, you need to take off your shoes when entering the temple, and short skirts, shorts, and suspenders are prohibited in the temple. However, if necessary, shawls and sarongs will be provided free of charge. 🎈 Transportation is also very convenient, and there are many ways to get there from Bangkok. Whether you take the subway to BTS Trichy Station and walk for a few minutes, or take a taxi from Ancient Siam or use a taxi app, you can get there smoothly. 😉 The surrounding scenery is also very nice. It is close to the ancient city of Siam, so you can check in and play together. Here, you can not only appreciate the picturesque buildings, but also feel the strong historical and cultural atmosphere. 😊Whether traveling with your bestie or alone, the Pink House in Khunwangburi is a place worth visiting. It is like a vivid history book, with stories written on every page and a unique charm in every detail. 🥰 In this modern fast-paced era, it is really a wonderful thing to have such a building full of historical charm and dreamy colors standing quietly in Phrae, Thailand. I hope more people can discover its beauty and come here to start a journey full of surprises. 💖😉
