The King Narai's Palace ((タイ語:พระนารายณ์ราชนิเวศน์)) in Lopburi was built by King Narai the Great, the king who ruled Ayutthaya from 1656 to 1688. He ordered the palace built in 1666 in the same area as King Ramesuan's Palace. King Narai stayed here for about 8–9 months a year, except during the rainy season. He designated Lopburi as the second capital of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. The palace was a place for relaxation, hunting, administering the country's affairs, and welcoming official visitors. When the king died in 1688, Lopburi and the palace were abandoned. King Mongkut (Rama IV) of Rattanakosin ordered the restoration of King Narai's Palace. He built a new throne hall complex (Phiman Monkut Pavilion) for his stay in 1856. He also renamed the palace ''Phra Narai Rajanivet''. During King Chulalongkorn's (Rama V) reign, Phiman Mongkut Pavilion, which had been King Mongkut's accommodations, was given to the government to use as the Lopburi City Hall. On October 11, 1924, Prince Damrong Rajanubhab and Prince Narisara Nuvadtivongs opened the Chantarapisarn Pavilion in King Narai's palace as a museum, calling it the Lopburi Museum. Later, in 1961 the name of the museum was changed to ''Somdet Phra Narai National Museum.'' To date, the museum has exhibited more than 1,864 items of the collection of ancient artifacts in different pavilions and buildings of the palace. ==Gallery== Image:King Narai Palace Gate.jpg|Palace Inner Gate1 Image:Chantara Phisan Hall.jpg|Chantara Phisan Hall Image:Phra Nak Prok.jpg|Phra Nak Prok, beside Chantara Phisan Hall Image:Phiman Mongkut Pavillion.jpg|Phiman Mongkut Pavilion Image:View From Chantara Phisan.jpg|Phiman Mongkut Pavilion, view from Chantara Phisan Hall Image:King Narai Palace Inner Gate.jpg|Palace Inner Gate2 Image:Suthasawan Hall.jpg|Suthasawan Hall Image:Dusit Sawan Hall1.jpg|Dusit Sawan Thanya Mahaprasat Hall Image:Dusit Sawan Hall2.jpg|Inside Dusit Sawan Thanya Mahaprasat Hall Image:View From Dusit Sawan.jpg|The Palace view, from Dusit Sawan Hall Image:Twelve Royal Storage.jpg|Twelve Royal Storage Image:King Narai Reception Hall.jpg|Reception Hall, for Foreign Visitors Image:King Narai Palace Water Tank.jpg|Water Tank Image:King Narai Museum Office.jpg|Museum Office 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King Narai's Palace」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
